This well-loved copy of “Where I Hang My Hat” by Dick Gallup offers a glimpse into the gritty world of 1960s San Francisco. Published in 1966, the novel captures the counterculture movement and Beat Generation ethos that permeated the city’s literary scene. Gallup’s semi-autobiographical tale follows the exploits of a young writer navigating the vibrant yet seedy underbelly of North Beach, rubbing shoulders with artists, eccentrics, and bohemians. While the jacket and boards show signs of wear, the book’s soul remains intact, inviting readers to immerse themselves in a bygone era when San Francisco was a crucible of artistic expression and social upheaval. For collectors, this edition represents a time capsule of the city’s rich cultural legacy, offering a raw and authentic portrayal of a pivotal moment in American literature.
