McCarthy, Cormac. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2005. First edition, first printing. Set in our own time along the bloody frontier between Texas and Mexico, this is Cormac McCarthy's first novel since Cities of the Plain (1998) completed his acclaimed, best-selling Border Trilogy. A harrowing story of a war that society is waging on itself, and an enduring meditation on the ties of love and blood and duties that inform lives and shape destinies, it served as the basis for the acclaimed 2007 motion picture directed by the Joel and Ethan Coen and starring Tommy Lee Jones, Javier Bardem,  Josh Brolin, Woody Harrelson, and Kelly Macdonald. Tiny remainder dot to the bottom edge; otherwise a fine copy in a fine dust jacket. $30
