The Dharma Bums.
NY: New American Library (Signet D1718), 1959. First p/b edition.
Back cover blurb: "From the pagan depths of Frisco's Bohemian bars to the dizzying heights of the snow-capped Sierras... This is the story of two sensation-seeking hipsters and their jet-propelled search for Experience. Here are their 'yabyum' sexual orgies... their marathon wine-drinking binges... their wild careening mountain-climbing sprees... their sky-rocketing poetry-jazz bouts - as only Jack Kerouac can reveal them".
Near Fine.
