Shelf wear to cover; some trace spotting to paper on underside of cover.  Reads nicely with some inevitable tanning to pages,

Jack Kerouac is best known for his multi-volume Legend of Duluoz, which includes On the Road and The Dharma Bums, but he was also an importart poet. One of the eight extended poems contained in Kerouac's Book of Blues (Penguin 1995), “San Francisco Blues" is an exuberant foray into language and consciousness, combining rich imagery, complex internal rhythms, and a reverent attentiveness to the moment.  Cover photograph: The Bettmann Archive
