Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near. First edition. A nice association copy, inscribed by Suiter on the half-title page with a mountain sketch: "For Polly Dyer, who helped conserves these mountains, Best wishes, John." Uncommon signed. Polly Dyer was an important conservationist in the Northwest, instrumental in the protection of Olympic National Park and the formation of Northern Cascades National Park (she was a co-founder of the Northern Cascades Conservation Council). She also helped argue for Wilderness Act of 1964, testifying before the US Senate that wild places are "a priceless asset which all the dollars man can accumulate will not buy back."She and Howard Zahniser are mutually creditedwith the pivotal definition of wilderness as "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain."Her papersare held at the University of Washington. A nice association as such, as based on extensive archival research this book details the history of these seminal Beat writers as fire lookouts in the Northern Cascades. Illustrated beautifully by Suiter's photos. A fine book in a very near fine jacket.

Kerouac, Jack. On the Road. New York: The Viking Press, 1957. First edition, first printing. With the original publisher's dust jacket (price intact). Octavo. Original black cloth, spine lettered in white; top edge stained red, as issued. 310 pages. Good book in a good dust jacket. The binding is firm, slight forward lean. Spotting to top text block. Slight scuffing to top edges. Spine lettering white and unfaded. Jacket good, creasing with some chips, slight fading to spine colors. Foxing and soiling. Chips at spine ends and tape repair to verso. Retaining the original $3.95 price on the front flap. Housed in a clear protective cover. Laid in: an original signed, canceled check made out to Nunzies Wine and Liquors. An arresting piece of period ephemera, the signed canceled check?payable to a liquor store?adds a documentary, intensely human counterpoint to Kerouac's myth. Checks are private instruments that typically vanish into bank files; when they survive, they preserve handwriting in a utilitarian context (less performative than a book signature) and often help anchor a copy within the everyday transactions of its owner. Here, the payee's identity sharpens the resonance: Kerouac's work and public persona became inseparable from his drinking, and he ultimately died from complications of alcoholism. Against that biographical arc, a check to a liquor store reads as a stark artifact of habit?an unadorned trace of the life that made the book possible and, in time, helped destroy its author. Published in 1957, On the Road is among the defining American novels of the postwar period: a restless, improvisatory reimagining of the picaresque that translated the energies of the Beat movement into a new idiom of speed, candor, and yearning. Its influence extends well beyond literature?shaping popular conceptions of the highway, youth culture, and the American search for transcendence?while its sentences remain a touchstone for writers drawn to spontaneity and voice. A desirable first printing in jacket, further distinguished by the laid-in signed check, an unusual association item that deepens the copy's narrative and collecting appeal.

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Illus. With Photos (illustrator). First edition. Inscribed on the title page: "To Pat -- Ann Charters." Also boldly signed there by Michael McClure and, a few pages in, signed and dated "6/11/94" by Allen Ginsbergat his very succinct foreword. A nice and rare collection of signatures from several close associates often mentioned in the biography. McClure and Ginsberg both read at the famous Six Gallery Reading where Ginsberg introduced "Howl" and Kerouac was in the audience passing the wine jug and chanting, "Go! Go!" The "first and definite" biography of Kerouac. Charters was a member of the Beat Scene from early on and she consulted Ginsberg in particular extensively for this book, so his is a particularly nice signature to have. Laid in is a torn ticket for a Michael McClure reading at Eliot Bay Books in Seattle as well as an obituary of Kerouac (October 21, 1969) from the Tacoma News Tribune. A near fine book in cream cloth with a few spots of yellowing/soiling to lower board edges, otherwise fine; former owners very small "Please return" stamp behind the jacket flap on on the pastedown. In a fine jacket.

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Stated first printing. 8 vo. 38 pages of text by Jack Kerouac followed by 27 pages of photographs by Robert Frank. An Evergreen original in wraps. Near fine with light rubbing to the front wrapper. Kerouac's cut signature is affixed to the title page. Very uncommon with Kerouac's signature. Signed by Author(s).

Unbound. Condition: Very good+ condition. First Edition. One page letter, handwritten and signed by Jack Kerouac. Folded into thirds, with one tiny tear at one crease, and minor browning to the edges. It is addressed to "Marshall" and starts by quoting a passage from "Desolation Angels" where Kerouac is discussing the deaths of his brother and father "For if the soul can't escape the body give the world to Mao Tse-Tung." The letter is undated, but "Desolation Angels" was written in 1965 and Kerouac died in 1969. The next paragraph predicts "You will be elevated in your time as I shall in mine." The closing paragraph states "I hope you're not really as sick as you think or say." Without a mailing envelope, the recipient of the letter has not been identified. The previous seller's catalogue description contains speculation that it could be Marshall McLuhan. McLuhan was diagnosed with a brain tumor while at Fordham in 1967. It is possible that the letter is addressed to Ed / Edward Marshall (1932-2005) who along with Kerouac was published by LeRoi Jones and Hettie Cohen in "Yugen" No. 4. This issue contained "Jonah at Danbury" and "At Tudor City" by Marshall and "2 Blues and 4 Haikus" by Kerouac. Further speculation offers that it could be poet Marshall Clements, who supplied photographs for Barry Gifford's 1973 publication "Kerouac's Town: On the Second Anniversary of His Death.". Signed by Author(s).

Softcover. Condition: Very good. First thus. Ninth printing of this mass market paperback. An association copy, inscribed on the verso of the front cover in thick pen: "For Robert Novak, GS, Japhy Ryder." Also two Japanese characters in the inscription. Robert Novak is probably the poet, critic, and editor who was a professor at Indiana University. Scarce signed by Snyder in any edition. The book is a roman a clef, and Snyder is the main character, Japhy Ryder, who models Buddhist practice and eventually leads the narrator up the Matterhorn in the Eastern Sierra for a sublime experience. "The book that turned on the psychedelic generation," reads the rear wrap. "A barrier-smashing novel about two rebels on a wild march for Experience from Frisco's swinging bars to the top of the snow-capped Sierras." A very good copywith creasing along spine, light edge wear, and toning to pages, but still tight. The previous owner has written "Climb Matterhorn first, Cody 89" on the first page, perhaps marking his own ascent of the mountain. A great find for a Snyder or Kerouac collector.
