NY, Random House, (1971). Thompson's hilarious, drug-soaked memoir of a trip to Vegas -- the book that defined "gonzo journalism." Inscribed by the author on May 30, 1991 at Owl Farm: "To Harry/ Lay off the whiskey & lay low. Good luck. HST/ Hunter." Mild sunning to board edges as is virtually always the case with this title, else fine in a fine dust jacket with a crease on the front flap. In a custom clamshell case with some of the dust jacket art embossed. Books signed by Thompson are uncommon, especially this key work, and most that do turn up are simply signed with his initials; this one has his initials and first name, as well as the inscription, place and date.
