New York: Portents / Gotham Book Mart, 1972. Wraps. Fourth printing. Signed and dated by Allen Ginsberg on the title page. "...a collection of snapshots of a group of men before they became, as Jack Kerouac put it, 'famous writers more or less.' In the 1940s and early 1950s, when most of the snapshots were taken, they were known only to each other, and these photos are candid shots they took to capture the private moments of their life and experience together. The collection begins with photos of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs, Hubert Huncke, Gregory Corso, and John Clellon Holmes living in New York City shortly after World War II..." Tall octavo: 56 pp. Original pictorial paper wrappers. Some very light edgewear; else very good or better. Very good. Item #79627
