Description
Signed and dedicated by Burroughs in green pen to beat writer and publisher Allen De Loach.
De Loach edited Intrepid magazine, issue#14, published in 1969 was a Burroughs Special Issue. Charles Bukowksi, Allen Ginsberg and Brion Gysin were also regular contributors.
The text was rearranged and augmented for the US and UK editions and the original Gysin designed cover was replaced by a Burroughs calligraphic artwork on the US edition.
Condition : The book is over stamped 18 new francs over the original 15 francs price while the dust cover is unclipped and retains the original 15 new francs price.
The Book looks unread, with the spine unbroken. ‘Bump’ at the top of the spine could be a fault in the binding- see photos. The cover is excellent with minimal wear – see photo.
