Cain’s Book

First UK edition. Publisher’s original red cloth boards with silver lettering to spine. Slight foxing to edges of text block. In very good unclipped dust jacket, age-toned and with some chipping to spine ends and corners; closed tears to head of upper panel and lower spine fold. A clean and unmarked copy. *** Autobiographical account about a junkie’s life in New York. A beat classic that holds its own alongside William Burroughs’s better known drugs novel Naked Lunch.
