New York: Delacorte Press/Seymour Lawrence, 1994. Signed by the author. 25th Anniversary edition / First printing with a new introduction by the author. Black cloth spine, black paper-covered boards, Very fine in fine dust jacket. The author's breakthrough masterpiece. After twenty years of struggling for critical and popular success, this book gave him the audience and recognition he had sought.

Number 18 on Modern Library's Best 100 Novels. A classic of counter-culture literature.
