This could have been a useful collection of quotes by Jack Kerouac. One hundred quotes are presented, one per page, but unfortunately no sources are given. Quotes by others, such as Allen Ginsberg, Charles Keralt, and Jon Krakauer, have crept in, unacknowledged, and there are some misquotes, like the one on the front cover. Other quotes in this book cannot be traced in Kerouac's work, and are possibly by someone else. A little more work by the compiler would have made this a valuable resource. As it is, there is much doubt as to the authenticity of many of the quotes included. ( )
