Books

First edition. [x], 206 pp. Bound in publisher's gray blindstamped boards with black cloth backstrip, lettered in silver. Very Good+ with sunning along top edge of boards, name written on front free end paper, very slight lean, in a spine-sunned dust jacket, unclipped, lightly worn. The first appearance in book form (following two 1971 issues of Rolling Stone) of Hunter S. Thompson's drugged-out travelogue to/rampage through Las Vegas, with its iconic splattered ink illustrations by Ralph Steadman. It inspired the 1998 Terry Gilliam film by the same name.

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