Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Inscribed by the illustrator, Ralph Steadman, to the beat poet, Chris Challis, to the free front endpaper. Scarce signed. Many critics have hailed Steadman's illustrations as another main character of the novel and companion to Thompson's disjointed narrative. The New York Times noted that "Steadman's drawings were stark and crazed and captured Thompson's sensibility, his notion that below the plastic American surface lurked something chaotic and violent. The drawings are the plastic torn away and the people seen as monsters." Soft covers. A clean copy with some light wear. Signed by Illustrator(s).…

dj. First edition, first printing. 206 pp. 8.5" x 5.5" TRIP OF A LIFETIME Hunter S. Thompson's drug-soaked cult favorite exemplified a new era of journalism. In his dizzying riot against the American status quo, Thompson took the opportunity to road trip to Las Vegas, killing two birds with one stone: writing Sports Illustrated captions and interviewing Chicano activist Oscar Zeta Acosta. The two men would have an experience unlike any other as they tripped through Sin City, sweeping away the hippie craze of the '60s and the structure of traditional news writing in favor of '70s cynicism and gonzo journalism. The novel-length manuscript was rejected by Sports Illustrated, received with enthusiasm by Rolling Stone, and published in a two-part series before its hardback publication solidified Thompson as the voice of late twentieth-century nonfiction. All it took was "two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a galaxy of multi-coloured uppers, downers, screamers, laughers.and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two dozen amyls." Featuring Ralph Steadman's line drawings, this first edition is ready to transport you back to a Vegas hotel room, philosophizing and raging with one of the greatest unconventional minds.

Thompson's searing account of the battle for the 1972 presidencyfrom the Democratic primaries to the eventual showdown between George McGovern and Richard Nixonis infused with the characteristic wit, intensity, and emotional engagement that made Thompson "the flamboyant apostle and avatar of gonzo journalism" (The New York Times).
