Scarce Proof

No Country for Old Men [Uncorrected Proof]

McCarthy, Cormac

Publication: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005. Uncorrected Proof.

Notes: The very scarce uncorrected proof in red printed wrappers with a second wrapper with the dust jacket design below. This probably precedes the much more common advance reading copy (ARC), which has a black glossy cover.

This book was the basis of the Coen brothers movie starring Tommy Lee Jones, Josh Brolin, and Javier Bardem, which is probably the best film adaptation of a McCarthy novel.
