Viking, New York, 1957. Hardcover with dust jacket. First edition, second printing. Publication date was September 5, 1957, and it sold so well that there was a second printing on September 20, and a third printing ordered shortly afterwards. There were many negative reviews at the time, but word of mouth helped On the Road make the best-seller list for five weeks late in 1957 getting as high as number 11. Kerouac had quietly written 16 other unpublished books by t...hat time.
