Offered here is a First Edition hardcover of On the Road: The Original Scroll by Jack Kerouac, published in 2007 by Viking / Penguin Group (USA) Inc., New York. This landmark publication presents Kerouac's unedited, uncut original manuscript of his seminal Beat Generation novel, exactly as it was typed on taped-together sheets of paper in a legendary three-week burst of creative energy in April 1951. The volume includes four scholarly introductions by Howard Cunnell, Penny Vlagopoulos, George Mouratidis, and Joshua Kupetz, offering deep critical context for the scroll manuscript. A Note on the Text and an Appendix by Howard Cunnell are also included. The text begins on page 107 and is followed by the Appendix on page 401, giving a sense of the book's substantial scholarly apparatus. The dust jacket features the distinctive bold orange design with facsimile typewritten manuscript text at the top and bottom, and the title rendered in Kerouac's own handwriting style. The back jacket bears a striking black-and-white photograph of Kerouac holding one of his scroll manuscripts, credited to Jerry Bauer, most likely depicting The Dharma Bums scroll. This is the First Edition as stated on the copyright page, with ISBN 978-0-7394-9426-4, printed in the United States of America. The book was designed by Carla Bolte and set in Iowan typeface. Copyright is held by John Sampas, Literary Representative of the Estate of Jack Kerouac. Condition is Very Good. The dust jacket displays light surface scuffing and minor glare marks on the front panel but is free of tears, chips, or losses. The binding is tight and square, boards are clean, and the interior pages are bright and unmarked with no foxing, writing, or library markings of any kind. A fine reading and collectible copy of this important literary document.
