The Olympia Press, 1959

Paris, France: The Olympia Press (catalog, primary excerpts), 1959.

This 32-page catalog of offerings from Maurice Girodias' The Olympia Press, in 1959, offers two pages to excerpts from William S. Burroughs' The Naked Lunch, alongside a photograph of Burroughs taken by Allen Ginsberg in 1953 (in NYC). 

The order form at the end of the catalog lists The Naked Lunch at its original printing price of 1500 Francs (as opposed to the "New Francs" pricing), thus indicating that this catalog was released closely with the publication of the book.

Acquired from Burwood Books (Wickham Market, UK).
