Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas — First Edition

Hunter S. Thompson
Illustrated by Ralph Steadman

A first edition of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream, Hunter S. Thompson’s legendary chronicle of the American counterculture. Illustrated throughout by Ralph Steadman, whose frantic, hallucinatory drawings became inseparable from Thompson’s vision of Gonzo journalism.

Originally published in 1971, the book captures Thompson’s chaotic journey through Las Vegas as both satire and cultural autopsy—an unfiltered portrait of the fading promises of the 1960s.

Presented in its original pictorial dust jacket with $5.95 price present.

Condition:
Very good in very good dust jacket. The jacket shows light edge wear and mild toning consistent with age. The binding remains solid and square. Interior clean with no markings. A well-preserved copy of a defining work of American counterculture.

A cornerstone of modern American literature and an increasingly sought-after first edition.
