Description
Jack Kerouac. On the Road. New York: The Viking Press, 1957.8vo. Publisher's black boards, lettered in white on upper cover and spine; original dust jacket; cloth slipcase.
FIRST EDITION OF KEROUAC'S LANDMARK BEAT NOVEL, in the first issue dust jacket, with blue and red lines to lower panel. Written in a legendary 20-day marathon session at his typewriter that has become part of Beat lore, Kerouac created a work so unique in its form and radical in its narrative that it was summarily rejected by a string of generally innovative editors and publishers.
Condition: Dust jacket with a few minor rubbed creases at ends of spine panel; slightest rubbing to extremities and at a few places along flap folds; some very slight soiling on rear panel. Overall, a remarkably fine and fresh copy, in an unusually well-preserved dust jacket.
