Jack Kerouac defined the beat generation. His stream-of-consiousness musings about travelling and his experiances have enlightened, amused and inspired generations of people since its publishing in 1957. When Kerouac first wrote the piece it was, appropriately, one long paragraph on taped-together into a 120-foot scroll. Now, you can experience this famous fit of spontaneity in its most spontaneous form. Just as Kerouac wrote it. In neat book form.

this book is an essential piece of americana (also the title of another book by kerouac). back pack through america in the 70's with this wonderful read.
