KEROUAC,  John.  ON THE ROAD. New York: The  Viking  Press  1957.
First  Edition.  The longtime reigning champ of Beat Literature,  with
many  hints  of  it being turned into a film but none realized  as  of
yet.  The  book  is  like new with a small ticket  from  a  California
bookstore  on  the  lower front pastedown, a habit of  new  bookstores
that  more  or less died in the 1960s. The first issue dustwrapper  is
complete  with a hardly noticeable closed half-inch tear to the top of
the  front and a slightly longer and jagged closed tear to the  bottom
rear  which has mild soiling. Only mild sunning to the spine which has
very  light  wear  to  the  tips  but  no  chipping.  A  significantly
above-average  copy  of a significant book that still  resonates  with
many of its readers. Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper.         $6000.00
