Description

First Edition, First Printing, of the author Robert Persig’s seminal work, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. This modern epic of a man’s search for meaning became an instant bestseller on publication in 1974, acclaimed as one of the most exciting books in the history of American letters. It continues to inspire millions. The book follows a summer motorcycle trip by a father and his son, that becomes a personal and philosophical odyssey into fundamental questions on how to live. This edition, with full number line,  is in the original dust jacket and shows some light creasing and discoloration, but overall is a very attractive copy with only some minor flaws that attest to its nearly fifty years. A very collectible book.
