Englewood Cliffs, Prentice-Hall, (1981). The uncorrected proof copy of the only full-length book so far about Cassady, who was the inspiration for Dean Moriarty, the main character in Jack Kerouac's On the Road and later the bus driver for Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters on their legendary cross-country trip that instigated the birth of the 1960s counterculture. Slight corner crease; very near fine in wrappers. An uncommon proof. [#024837] SOLD
