Description: This is a rare and highly sought after first edition of William S. Burroughs' groundbreaking novel, The Naked Lunch (no76 the traveller's companion series). It was originally published in 1959 by Olympia Press in Paris, France. This copy is an original and authentic piece of literary history. As a collector's item, this book is highly prized by fans of Burroughs and Beat literature. The text itself is a powerful and controversial exploration of the human psyche, and remains a significant work of literature to this day. Please make sure to closely look at all photographs and note imperfections before purchasing. The book will be carefully and well packaged for shipment. Imperfections as seen in photos include stain centered on outside pages. The first few pages have a slight fold on the top right corner. The cover/first page is disconnected from the book but is held together with an acid free dust jacket. The dust jacket is a facsimile as noted on inside of dust jacket. Other very light staining or aging can be seen. It's an old book, so expect it to be brittle and you must handle it with care! This item is sold as is and cannot be returned, sorry. This is a wonderful piece of history for any book lovers collection!
