About This Item
New York:: Julian Messner,, (1959). Hardcover first edition -. Very good in black cloth with light green lettering in a fair only dust jacket with rubbing, chipping and overall edgewear, price-clipped.. First printing. The dust jacket describes this as "At last the complete story of the 'Beats'- that hip, cool, frantic generation of new Bohemians who are turning the American scale of values inside out." Although Lipton was a prolific novelist, poet and columnist, this was the book that linked him to the Beat Generation literary movement. Lipton's home in Venice, California, served as an informal center for the arts, including the movement to restore poetry as a vocal art and experimenting with jazz long before the Beats became famous. Notes, glossary. 320 pp plus an 8 pp "Venice West Picture Essay" with 30 photographs.
