Desperately Seeking Basquiat by Ian Castello-Cortes, a richly illustrated book on the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his history. 

There are a number of mentions of Burroughs, most significantly at page 102 on "222 Bowery", the address of William S. Burroughs' "Bunker" apartment. This is accompanied by an uncredited photograph of William S. Burroughs. A map of New York City noting the "Bunker" address location is elsewhere in the book.
