The Kerouac Connection

The Kerouac Connection No. 14 Spring 1987

Bristol, England: Dave Moore, 1987. First edition. Staplebound. This issue of the UK periodical dedicated to Kerouac & the Beats features many articles, reviews (including of the then-currently released film documentary, What Happened to Kerouac?) & a reprint of a 1958 Detroit News article in which Kerouac scorns the term "Beatnik." This copy is signed twice, at the bottom of two book reviews, of Howl: Original Draft Facsimile, & Friendly and Flowing Savage:The Literary Legend of Neal Cassady, by their author, Steven Moore, on pages 20 & 21. Also included is the original mailing envelope in which this issue was sent by the publisher to the reviewer. In very fine condition, with only some staple rusting, especially lower staple seeping slightly onto spine edge of front cover, & very tiny creases at binding. Envelope also in very fine condition, with minor tearing at opening flap & creasing of corners. A rare little item of importance to the Kerouac student & collector. Very Fine [Item #1580]
