Originally published in a French language edition in Paris, it was republished for the American market in 1959 by Grove who commissioned Jack Kerouac to write the introduction. This enlarged edition has a number of additional photographs. An important book for many reasons not least of which being the attention to format and page layout provided by the photographer himself.
