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 more than fifty years after its
initial publication. Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. $6,000.00
