Description

Paris,The Olympia Press, 1965
Softcover, 17.5 x 11 cm, 225 pages. Second edition thus.

People who know the Burroughs bibliography better than I do have written enough about the Olympia Press edition of The Naked Lunch. This is a second edition, published in 1965.  Number 76 of “The Traveller’s Companion” series. Price on rear cover is Francs 18 as it should be. This copy is priced  the same as the cheapest copy of the Kearney  Olympia Press bibliography, which I should probably buy if any bookstores near me had it in stock. 

Edges with quite visible foxing, Some rubbing to the edges of the spine affecting the green cover. A good copy with a tight spine, but with a few hard to spot blemishes to title on the spine and of course the foxing.
