About This Item
[San Francisco]: City Lights, 1971. First edition. Very good.. Pictorial card wrappers, printed in black. 157 pp. First edition. Wraps very lightly rubbed at edge, text block clean and very bright, very good or better copy.
First edition. From the verso of the lower wrapper: "Before he died in Mexico in 1968, just four days short of his 44th birthday, Neal Cassady had written the jack blurb for this book: 'Seldom has there been a story of a man so balled up. No doubt many readers will not believe the veracity of the author, but I assure these doubting Thomases that every incident, as such, is true.'" A wild ride.
