[Rarebooks] FS: Nice First Edition of Kerouac's ON THE ROAD

[Charles Agvent]

KEROUAC, Jack. 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.              $6,000.00
