The first paperback edition of McCarthy's fourth novel, published as part of the Vintage Contemporaries series, whose mission was to reprint books originally published in hardcover which had either gone out of print or fallen into obscurity. Suttree fell into this category, having sold about half of its only printing in 1979 prior to being remaindered.
