Naked Angels: The Lives and Literature of the Beat Generation by John Tytell, as published by McGraw Hill (New York City, US) in a hardcover edition in 1976. 

Less a sweeping study of the range of Beat writers and more a “study of the lives and works of Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac, and William S. Burroughs”.

This includes two sections on Burroughs: first, a biography at pages 36-51, and, second, “The Black Beauty of William Burroughs”, an essay on Burroughs, pp. 111-139.

There are also photos of Burroughs by Mellon and Allen Ginsberg in a center photo section within the book.
