first edition
1958 · London
by KEROUAC, Jack
London: Andre Deutsch, 1958. First British edition and first printing. Hardcover. 310 pages. Kerouac's second novel, a thinly veiled autobiographic work that featured many of his friends. A very good copy with some slight soiling to the boards, light tapping to the corners and some toning to the front endpapers and in a very good plus dust jacket with some small chips and the spine ends and edges and some other light wear. Despite the flaws a pleasing copy of this beat classic with an evocative dust jacket that features the artwork of Len Deighton, several years before he published his first book. (Inventory #: 198908)
