Paul, a former Notebook Addict of the Month, sent me these images of Jack Kerouac’s notebooks. I have to say that I read On the Road and it did NOT make me a Kerouac fan at all… but seeing his notebooks might just change my mind!
Paul writes
“The first picture is the front page of Kerouac’s 1949 work notebook, taken from Windblown World: The Journals of Jack Kerouac. The article is from the November 1998 issue of Atlantic Monthly. Enjoy, and post as you see fit. Â The last picture is the front cover of my diary from spring and summer 1996–which happened to include my honeymoon in San Francisco.”
Thanks again to Paul for sharing another great notebook tip!
Thanks *so* much for posting these – only wish there was access to the whole Atlantic Monthly piece online – as a Kerouac fan it looks fascinating!
