Reviews
"An authentic work of art . . . the most beautifully executed, the clearest and the most important utterance yet made by the generation Kerouac himself named years ago as 'beat,' and whose principal avatar he is." --Gilbert Millstein,  The New York Times  " On the Road  has the kind of drive that blasts through to a large public. . . . What makes the novel really important, what gives it that drive is a genuine new, engaging and exciting prose style. . . . What keeps the book going is the power and beauty of the writing." --Kenneth Rexroth,  San Francisco Chronicle "One of the finest novels of recent years. . . a highly euphoric and intensely readable story about a group of wandering young hedonists who cross the country in endless search of kicks." --Leonard Feather,  Downbeat , "Life is great, and few can put the zest and wonder and sadness and humor of it on paper more interestingly than Kerouac." - San Francisco Chronicle

    A+++++ Seller! Professor's syllabus listed the wrong book for the course, and told us of the mistake the first day of class. Contacted seller textbooks_source ASAP, and they were able to stop and refund the first order. I then purchased this textbook as the correct book for the course. Textbook received as described. This is a great seller. I would (and did) purchase from again. A++++++!!!!!!!

    I needed this for a class I am enrolled in and the seller delivered with amazing results for a unbeatable price. Normal price point was way over my budget and I am so happy I found this seller. Item arrived on time and packaged with care. Came exactly as described without any damage or defects. Will purchase from seller again for next course!

  • Ok

    The book isn’t as described, but thanks I guess. It has water damage and completely different cover.
