[Rarebooks] FS: ON THE ROAD

[Charles Agvent]

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 
fifty years after its initial publication.
Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper.                              $6000.00
