Comments and Reviews


23skidoo 4th Mar 2021		I'm not going to put a valuation on this but I have seen copies of this for as much as $300 US. For Burroughs fans, this is the Holy Grail. Later republished (under Burroughs' real name) as "Junkie" or "Junky" and numerous editions of the manuscript exist as Burroughs and, later, his literary executors, kept adding in material cut from earlier editions.



23skidoo 26th Sep 2022		Anyone know if this was the first edition to credit Burroughs under his real name? (As this comment appears under other editions, I refer to the undated (but likely 1960s) standalone Ace edition.) (this comment is from another edition of this book)
