BURROUGHS, William S. The Ticket That Exploded. London: Calder and Boyars. 1968. 8vo. First British edition. Publisher’s blue cloth lettered in gilt to the spine, in the dust jacket designed by John Sewell. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, gently bumped to the spine tips. The binding tight and square, the contents clean and fine but for some very faint marks to endpapers. The dust jacket unclipped (42s net), gently rubbed to the corners and spine tips, with some faint marks to the white sections of the jacket, the spine a little faded and with one circular ink blotch to rear panel and a few faint creases along edges here.
Burroughs’ fourth novel and second in his acclaimed Nova Trilogy, wherein his famed fold-in technique (a variant of his cut-up technique) was at full pace. Originally published in Paris in 1962 by Olympia, Burroughs extensively edited and extended the volume for this edition.
