NP. ND. - Made in Germany. Circa 1938 - 1950. 4to-sized. (27.5 x 20.5 x 5.8 cm) box consisting of two 19th-century half calf bindings with marbled boards and rich gilt spines, thus resembling a pile of two books. A very nice 'book-alike', hiding top-quality contents in excellent condition: inside is a fine, large compass in a wooden box, an Austrian stainless steel Imco Triplex windproof lighter (probably dating from 1937), a vintage French Laguiole folded knife, an octagonal glass, and a small, full bottle with leather cover and bronze vignette with mother-of-pearl inlay mounted, and original bottle cap with an early JÃgermeister logo. The JÃgermeister brand was launched in 1934 and almost immediately quite successful. All items are neatly arranged in a custom-made frame with recesses with marbled sides. Outside with the usual wear (as intended, to look inconspicuous and innocent), inside in fine, clean condition.

Description:
Austin: Texas Writers Project, 2000. Original . Broadside. FINE. 24 x 36 inches, printed on high quality coated stock with metalic ink. Shipped- rolled in heavy tube. This fabulous poster was created especially for the featured author of Texas Writers Month in 2000 held in Austin, Texas by graphic designer Marc English. It is printed on heavy high quality coated stock in metalic inks: silver and bronze and laid over a duotone photograph of the rugged Big Bend country of West Texas. The poster quotes a long scene from McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN with drops of bronze red blood for emphasis. This is a stunning visual and carries the impact of the original text depicting a scene of horror as the savages line up on horseback along the ridge their glass beads and painted bodies caught forever in the sun's hot glare as they anticipate the massacre that would follow. Only McCarthy could make this scene so vivid you might have to put the book down and never finish it.
