The Orchard Keeper by McCarthy, Cormac - 1965

A Near Fine, apparently unread copy with softness at spine ends, slightest bit of splay to front board, and a couple of faint spots of foxing to front end page; in a Near Fine jacket that has slight soiling, mild curl at flap ends and a faint blue band along the top of jacket (this was apparently a production flaw on all or most of the first issue jackets) about a quarter of an inch from top edge, a very tiny chip at bottom of back flap, and a touch of sun fade to red lettering on spine. The jacket is often a problem with this title and this copy is sound but there are scored lines along the interior of jacket at the flap folds. A nice copy of McCarthy's first novel.
