Sold
Hardcover. First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper, with modest rubbing and one very short tear, but with none of the usual fading to the colored portions of the spine illustration. Kerouac's follow-up to *On the Road*, a thinly-veiled account of his spiritual growth and friendship with poet Gary Snyder. A nice copy.
