New York: Random House, 1971. First Edition. Very Good/Very Good. First edition, first printing. Signed by Hunter S. Thompson in initials on a illustrated preliminary page; with a ticket stub from an event with Thompson at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA laid in. Bound in publisher's black cloth spine over black paper covered boards decorated in blind, with titles in silver on the spine. Very Good with lean to binding, wear at corners, top and bottom edges of boards sunned with faint staining along top edge. Foxing to top textblock edge and stain to fore edge protruding into several pages, light sporadic soiling to pages. In a Very Good price-clipped dust jacket with general wear, light staining and toning, creases to flaps. Thompson's vivid and wild journey, which seems inseparable from Steadman's iconic, perfectly paired illustrations; signed by Thompson.

Ralph Steadman's iconic illustrations complement Hunter S. Thompson's infamous tale of bat country and the American Dream.
