William Burroughs - The Naked Lunch - John Calder, 1964, Proof.

London, John Calder, 1964. Proof. Paperback. A near fine copy. Calder published the first British edition, being the third English-language edition, preceded by the Olympia Press edition (with which this was published in association) of 1959 and the US Grove Press edition of 1962 (often mistakenly marked as 1959). The book itself is not marked as a proof, though the presentation in unmarked wraps matches with similar proofs of the era. Wrappers a little creased, paper a touch toned. An excellent copy.
