New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005. First edition. Fine in fine jacket.. First printing of McCarthy's brutal modern classic, a beautiful copy. McCarthy's stunning Western started life as a screenplay, was rewritten as a novel, and was ultimately adapted into one of the more stunning Coen Brothers films of the last twenty years. Harold Bloom, unable to discern a satisfying moral argument in its wanton coin-flipping, didn't like it, which can only be taken as a glowing recommendation. A beautiful copy of this fully realized masterwork of bleakness and pitiless doom. 8.25'' x 5.5''. Original black paper boards, gilt-lettered spine. In original unclipped ($24.95) red pictorial dust jacket designed by Chip Kidd. Fore-edge machine deckle. [8], 309, [3] pages. Book has very slight lean. Bright, clean, sharp, and tight overall.

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN is a major work of the McCarthy canon, exploring fate and futility in the aftermath of a drug deal gone wrong in rural west Texas. A MacArthur Fellow, a Pulitzer Prize-winner, and National Book Award-winner, McCarthy's reputation has been extended further with the success of the Coen brothers' Hollywood adaptation of NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, which won four Academy Awards including Best Picture. 8.75'' x 5.5''.

New York: The Dial Press, 1972. Fine in near fine jacket.. First edition of Baldwin's fourth nonfiction book, a personal, philosophical, and political memoir. NO NAME covers from his childhood in Harlem to his life and work in the postwar '40s; to the turn of the McCarthyite '50s into the turbulent '60s, "when many of my friends vanished into the hills, or into anarchies called communes, or into orgone boxes." Included are the years when Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Medgar Evers, and others he knew and loved died brutal deaths, and the decade, along with the mythic self-delusion of the American people, "who are at present among the most dishonorable and violent people in the world," collapsed in on itself. By 1972, familiarity with Baldwin's rhetorical style had bred contempt among many critics once happy to be enlightened, now furious to be reminded. This reaction itself, Mel Watkins observed, "may very well be a more serious indictment against ourselves, a palpable indication of our own… Leer más

New York: Literary Guild, 1930. Book Club Edition. Very good plus in custom slipcase.. Twice inscribed copy of this boldly illustrated shipwreck adventure story, inscribed by Rockwell Kent to Washington D.C. poet Ernest Kroll. The National Gallery of Art notes that, for Rockwell Kent, "exploration and artistic production were twinned endeavors, and his travels to these rugged, rural locales provided inspiration for both his visual art and his writings"; the results of this inspiration are on full display in N BY E. Kent's illustrations, which often depict the feeling of his adventures in Greenland rather than their reality, evoke the dreamy figures of William Blake passed through an Art Deco lens. This copy once belonged to noted DC poet and State Department employee Ernest Kroll. In a Thermofax copy of a response to a letter to Kroll, included in this copy of N BY E, Kent expresses amusement that someone writing on "State Department stationary" was expressing interest in his work: "the late… Leer más
