Books

First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's gray blindstamped boards with black cloth backstrip, lettered in silver. Very Good+ with lean to binding, sunning to edges and light soiling. In a Very Good+ unclipped dust jacket with fading to spine, light toning; creasing to flaps. Light dampstaining mostly visible from the verso. 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.
