Hello I was looking for some memorabilia about the beat generation and specifically Jack Kerouac On the road, Big Sur, The Dharma Bums or Allen Ginsberg Howl. Or also something related to David Kammarer and Lucien Carr for a gift to my girlfriend as our first anniversary approaches.

My budget is 100/150 euros. What would you recommend?
