Jacket in VG to VG+ with some rubbing as per usual to the glossy black finish, a crease to the front flap, s scratchy spot to the front panel with a small pinhole. A closed microtear to top rear edge. Some edge west near spine ends. It’s not been price clipped and there is virtually no fading to the red on the cover and the spine. A fabulous example of McCarthy’s third book, rarely signed. . #cormacmccarthy #childofgod #signedbooks #bloodmeridian #bibliophile #appalachia #nocountryforoldmen #pulitzer #pulitzerprize #bookshop #bookstore #books4ewe #southernfiction #bookcollector #bookcollection #bookstagram #booktok #bookhorder #horrorbooks #necrophile #bookphoto #vintagebooks #booklife #books
