New York: Coward-McCann, Inc, 1968. First edition. Near fine in near-fine jacket.. First printing of Kerouac's final novel, his last work published before his death in 1969. A lovely copy of Kerouac's last semi-autobiographical novel, spanning a young man's college years and the Second World War; the semi- in semi-autobiographical is tissue-thin, with just enough deniable masquerade for art's sake and his publisher's comfort.

(Los Angeles): (Anderson, Ritchie & Simon), 1970. Fine.. Signed second edition of Ruscha's second artist's book, an enigmatic series of controlled burns in the human landscape. The fifteen yellow-tinted fires of VARIOUS SMALL FIRES are man-made, mostly domesticated and indoors, mostly under control: a gas stove, a welder's torch, a cigarette lighter, a cigar - with just a few blurred, unidentifiable snapshots of flames on a sidewalk, by a car, in the dark, whose purpose and safety are unknown. Ruscha stressed the subject if what is important, not the photographer: "I went to a stock photograph place and looked for pictures of fires, there were none. It is not important who took the photos, it is a matter of convenience, purely" (quoted in Coplans). One of Ruscha's most confounding books, it is uncommon signed. 7'' x 5.5''. Original black and white printed wrappers. Edition of 3000 unnumbered copies. 16 photographs. [48] pages. Signed by Ruscha in pencil on front free endpaper. PROVENANCE: From the… Leer más

New York: Farrar, Straus and Company, 1963. First edition (stated). Fine in very good jacket.. First printing of Kerouac's autobiographical novel of his brother's death. Lightly fictionalized portrait of Kerouac's youth and his short-lived older brother Gerard, presented in a hazy glow of sanctity and urgent nostalgia. The first volume of the 'Duluoz legend,' VISIONS OF GERARD was written in 1956, though not published until 1963. While derided as 'hipster yawping' by contemporary critics, any irregularities of punctuation or slang are less striking than its pervasive religiosity; Kerouac himself esteemed it highly among his own works, and the Gerard of the book is less an accurately remembered child than absolute purity in a child's form, the catalyst for Kerouac's own apprehension of divine mysteries: "the definite and immortal idealism which had been imparted me by my holy brother." 8'' x 5.5''. Original quarter black cloth with decorative salmon-pink and white boards. Gilt-titled spine. In… Leer más
