Paris: The Olympia Press, 1959. First edition but second issue. Softcover. 225 pages. A paperback original. Burrough's classic book which was the basis for an David Cronenberg directed movie with Peter Weller, Judy Davis, Ian Holms, Roy Scheider and Julian Sands. Second state with the new price on the rear panel. A very good plus copy in green wrappers with some slight soiling to the page edges, some slight splitting along the rear internal hinge and the price increase stamp to the rear panel and in a very good plus dust jacket with some minor wear and a small chip to the top of the rear panel. Despite the flaws, a very presentable copy.
