New York: The Modern Library, 1998.. Third printing thus. 8vo. (xviii), 283, (1) pp. Publisher's grey cloth, gilt lettered to the spine, dust jacket, original bookseller's "Signed Copy" wrap-around band with Thompson's signature to the half title. A handful of Steadman's black and white illustrations in the text. Some mild bumping to the jacket edges, very good overall. An edition published to coincide with the Terry Gilliam directed film adaptation released in the same year, the jacket featuring a distorted image of Johnny Depp in the lead role taken from the film's artwork.

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