Yes I imagine shipping costs would be pretty high. I’ll wait a bit and hope book depository lists the US edition soon.
Thanks
I’ll help out if you go that direction. I have boxes and bubble wrap so the books will make it safe (outside of the post office messing with it).
What book are you guys talking about here?
Do you have a link?
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Okay, I see the books, 1st I heard of them, any limited editions announced? I hope not!
The boxed set seems nice, $41 pre-order from Amazon.

I ordered the UK paperback editions from The Book Depository, just because.
I had to hunt for THE PASSENGER, which is listed as an unabridged edition, with no mention of whether it's a HC or PB, but it was the same price as the paperback of the other book, so I guess it's a paperback. Very mysterious!

I ordered the UK hardcovers of both books.
I now wait patiently for them to add the US edition....
Goldsboro has both new books up for preorder. Unsigned of course.

Folio Society is publishing an edition of Blood Meridian ($70):
https://www.foliosociety.com/usa/blood-meridian.htmlMulti-layered, violent and beautiful, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is a modern classic justly celebrated in this Folio Society edition, illustrated by award-winning artist Gérard DuBois.
Brutal and bleak; unique and compelling, Blood Meridian is widely regarded as Cormac McCarthy’s magnum opus, and one of the greatest American novels of all time. An epic western, it explores the spiralling violence suffered by Americans and Indians along the Texas-Mexican border in the mid-19th century. The disregard for life and law on both sides is a reflection on humanity’s destiny, and who among us might control its fate. Having illustrated our best-selling edition of McCarthy’s The Road, artist Gérard DuBois confronts the relentless savagery with surprising grace in his emotive illustrations, while his binding design leaves no doubt as to the hard-hitting nature of the book.
Bound in printed and blocked paper
Set in Maxime
320 pages
Black & white illustrated title-page spread plus 6 colour illustrations
Plain slipcase
9˝ x 5¾˝
French artist Gérard DuBois’s heart-wrenching illustrations in The Road define our stunning edition and his work will undoubtedly do the same for Blood Meridian. This, the only illustrated edition in print, includes six colour illustrations, which are shockingly violent yet beautiful in their composition and memorable for the meaning they convey. A striking black-and-white title-page illustration is a fitting visual introduction to the narrative, with the horror of death belied by the calm countenance of the young soldier who could almost be mistaken for sleeping.
A modern masterpiece that defies categorisation, Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian is essential reading. At heart a western, it also draws on far older literary traditions, namely The Odyssey and The Iliad, in which man’s place in the universe is questioned and his fate determined. The violence is immediate and appalling, the detail graphic and, at times, difficult to read. And yet in the context of the era and the settings, it is not gratuitous. Rather, McCarthy’s fully formed characters and lyrical prose convey poignancy and prompt contemplation. Based on historical events surrounding the notorious scalp-hunting Glanton Gang, the novel focuses on the endless cycle of attack and retribution, as white Americans try to decimate the indigenous population, both sides indiscriminate in their bloodletting.
You can't be aloof until you advertise.
Working my way through "The Passenger." Not an easy read. It has some typical McCarthy gems but a lot of material that is dense. And not in the good way. Not unlike Dan Simmons when he goes off the rails.
