(n.p.), (n.p.), [c. 1975-1976]. McCarthy's script for the 1976 PBS film. 140 photocopied pages, with text that varies from the trade edition published by Ecco in 1996: significant changes in both camera directions and dialogue throughout, including four scenes that do not appear in the published version. Copied slightly off center, such that the last few letters of many words are missing; overall near fine. Scarce. Granted, a photocopy, but with provenance of three degrees of separation from the author, and in an envelope with a label that reads "Cormac McCarthy - The Gardener's Son / Duplicate copy." The copy of this script that went to Texas State University last year as part of the sale of McCarthy's literary archive was also a photocopy, suggesting that an "original" no longer exists. Together with a copy of the first trade edition [Hopewell: Ecco Press, 1996], which is fine in a fine dust jacket. [#027242] $2,500
