[DRUGS, LITERATURE, WILLIAM BURROUGHS] Junkie

Item Details

Description

William Lee [William S. Burroughs]; Maurice Helbrant

Junkie / Narcotic Agent

New York: Ace Books, 1953.
First Edition.
16cm x 11cm. 149, 169 pages, 2 volumes in one. Illustrated wrappers.

The Ace Double first edition D-15, being the first edition of Burrough's Junkie: Confessions of an Unredeemed Drug Addict. "..attributed to William Lee as Burroughs used his mother's maiden name so as not to discredit his family. Maynard & Miles A1a, in which they note that as many as 100,000 copies may have bene printed. Certainly this title is not hard to find, but it was printed on poor quality paper and excellent copies carry a high price premium as they are scarce. It is particular interesting that even for Burroughs' first published work, there was concern about the subject and contents which was only overcome by the inclusion of Helbrant's Narcotic Agent. This was a title originally published in 1941 and one assumes that acquiring the softcover rights was done cheaply since Agent was apparently not a big seller. But legal and moral concerns about Burroughs' writings would follow him well in the 1960s." SHOAF 1.

An excellent example with only the slightest shelf wear and tanning. Near Fine Condition.
