From a lovely Flickr pool called “books” by Nmarie. As well as book covers of Beat authors, I noticed one by John Steinbeck, an old cover of Beat Scene Magazine  and a decent amount of Bukowski.

From the early 60s on into the 70s, Larry Keegan photographed the who’s who of the American counterculture, from Lawrence Ferlinghetti and City Lights Bookstore to Bob Dylan and Timothy Leary. Most phenomenal (and what sets his work apart from other online repositories) are the photos’ accompanying blurbs, little pieces that succeed in bringing us closer to the history he was trying to capture.
