Jack Kerouac.
 
Andre Deutsch, 1964. Octavo. Advanced Review Copy. Foxing along the top edge of the text block and trace foxing to the fore and bottom edge. Previous owner's first name written on the first free end paper. Unclipped jacket has edge wear and mild soiling to the rear cover, now mylar protected. Very good.
 
“It starts raining harder, I've got a long way to go walking and pushing that sore leg right along in the gathering rain, no chance no intention whatever of hailing a cab, the whiskey and the Morphine have made me unruffled by the sickness of the poison in my heart.”
