WILLIAM S. BURROUGHS - 1957 Rare Offprint - Ed. of 50


After publishing the fictionalized autobiography Junkie under the pseudonym William Lee," Burroughs contributed a non-fiction account of his wide-ranging drug use to the venerable British Journal of Addiction, an obscure medical journal. At his request, the Journal sent Burroughs fifty (50) copies of a stapled offprint of the article. Burroughs was, at the time, living in Tangiers and furthering his "drug research;" thus it is likely that far fewer than fifty copies survive to this day
