Visions of Cody

Jack Kerouac · New Directions (New York) — first complete edition: McGraw-Hill (1972) · 1960

The 1960 New Directions limited (750 copies, signed/numbered, excerpts only) is the true first appearance in book form but is incomplete. The 1972 McGraw-Hill is the first complete edition ('first thus'). Collectors distinguish the scarce signed 1960 limited from the 1972 trade first.
