THE DHARMA BUMS by Jack Kerouac Signet Books, First Paperback Printing, 1959 Condition: Very Good- Kerouac was one of the leading writers on the Beat Generation, and this novel is essentially his follow-up to his most important book, ON THE ROAD. It's "the story of two sensation-seeking hipsters and their jet-propelled search for Experience". This is the first paperback printing. Spine lean due to re-gluing of binding; short closed splits at spine ends with other light wear; other spine wear, some extending to covers; light front cover creasing. Nonetheless, the binding is secure, and the lightly tanned pages have no wear, writing or markings.
