Description

San Francisco: Beat Books, 1983. First Edition. Wraps. Near fine. The first complete edition of Kerouac's first book of poems, written in 1954. "The complete text of SAN FRANCISCO BLUES, which Kerouac typed up from his notebooks for Don Allen in 1961, consisted of 79 jazz choruses. After reading over the finished manuscript at that time Kerouac came to see clearly that the complete work possessed a 'beautiful unity', and he therefore expressed a sincere hope that it could be published as a whole - without excerpting or the scattered use of individual choruses. Unfortunately this was not to be. Until the publication of this edition, bits and pieces of SAN FRANCISCO BLUES were available only in various scattered printed and recorded portions." Octavo. Original printed green paper wrappers. Just a hint of edgewear; else a fine copy.
