Hammer Price: £1,300
Description
Kerouac (Jack) Book of Dreams, first edition, signed presentation inscription from William Burroughs "For ?Bill Hubbard" to title, original wrappers, light toning and creasing to spine with some light wear towards foot, light marking to upper cover, light rubbing to extremities, 8vo, San Francisco, City Lights Books, [1961].
*** An intriguing inscription and a potentially highly important association copy.
Burroughs' inscription is difficult to discern as either "Bill" or "Bull" but either indicates that this was likely Burroughs' own copy as the Bull Hubbard character in Book of Dreams and Desolation Angels was well established as Burroughs' fictional counterpart and Kerouac would later revise this name to Bill (apparently because Burroughs was unhappy with the implications of the name "Bull").
