September 5, 2007, marks the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac's legendary novel On the Road , which has sold more than four million copies in America alone and continues to sell more than 100,000 copies a year in paperback for Penguin. To mark the anniversary, the landmark one-volume anthology of Kerouac's writing, The Portable Jack Kerouac, which was originally published in 1995, is coming out for the first time in Penguin Classics this September with a handsome new cover. Also available from Penguin Classics is the 1957 edition of On the Road and Kerouac's 1958 novel, The Dharma Bums , which made its debut in the Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition series last year with an introduction by Ann Douglas and cover art by the graphic artist known as Jason.
