[Rarebooks] FS: Sharp First Edition of Jack 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, finally made 
into a film, disappointing as it was. A significantly above-average copy 
of a significant book that still resonates with many of its readers 
nearly sixty years after its initial publication. 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. Fine in a Near Fine dustwrapper. (#012977)        $6,000.00
