Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream (UK FIRST EDITION)

Descripción

VERY RARE UK FIRST EDITION! Behold! The elusive and fiercely coveted FIRST UK TRADE PAPERBACK EDITION, unleashed upon London's literary circuit by Paladin in '72. No damned hardcover edition to be found, mind you. Illustrated in raw, gritty black and white by none other than the legendary Ralph Steadman. That copyright page sets the record straight, man. "Granada Publishing Limited" claims the birthright, unleashing this beast upon the Brits in '72, with roots dating back to '71, no bullshit reprinting dates in sight. The wild tale, signed by the enigmatic 'Raoul Duke,' first surfaced in the pages of Rolling Stone, a two-part sledgehammer assault in issues 95 and 96, tearing shit up on November 11 and 25, '71. Epic, man, just epic. Then came the book deal, man. "1971" they say, but don't buy that crap. The real deal, the moment of truth, went down on June 26, '72, when Random House, New York, unleashed it upon the masses, now loaded with even more of Steadman's twisted visions. But wait, there's more! This ain't just any edition, man. This is the freakin' unicorn of literary treasures the FIRST UK EDITION, born in '72, proudly clad in softcover splendor by Paladin, no hardcover snobs to be seen. Ralph Steadman's wizardry graces the front cover, man, a psychedelic dance of ink and madness! So, don't let this mad masterpiece slip through your fingers, my friend. It's a mind-bending trip, a rollercoaster ride through the twisted mind of Hunter S. Thompson, immortalized in ink and immortal prose. Grab it, cherish it, and join the ranks of the Gonzo faithful. You won't be the same after this ride! . GOOD quality, apart from a few pages coming loose at the centre and a little stain (see photo 2) the spine is slightly creased (see photo 3) and the back over shows normal signs of wear (see photo 4) but all in all a great version of this highly COLLECTIBLE and RARE book.
