London: The Bodley Head.. 1974.
First UK edition, first printing. 215x15mm. pp. [10], 11-412. Brown cloth, spine lettered in gilt. Original illustrated dust jacket. Front free endpaper has gift inscription. Some rubbing to extremities and a repaired tear to upper cover of dust jacket and a smaller one to lower cover but otherwise a very good copy of this popular and influential novel which takes a father and son motorbike road trip and mixes in Eastern philosophies, Indigenous American wisdom, ancient Greek thought (one of the characters is called Phaedrus) and countercultural Peyotism - a heady combination that Pirsig called the Metaphysics of Quality.
