NP manuscript scroll of "On the Road"

[Doug Millison]

David Kipen, P-list veteran (and possible lurker?) writes in today's SF
Chronicle:

Kerouac scroll to go public  
Say this for Christie's: It knows when it's Beat.  In response to demand,
the auction house will conduct open viewings of Jack Kerouac's typescript
manuscript scroll of "On the Road" from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. today and tomorrow
at its offices at 400 Montgomery St., San Francisco.  No reservations are
necessary.

has a picture of the holy scroll itself and a longer story about it.
Christie's expects it to sell for $1.5 million.
