About This Item
New York: Random House, 1994. Stated first edition; first printing w/full Random House number-line. Boldly signed by Hunter Thompson in large black felt-tip at half-title page: "H.S.T." Very attractive appearing contemporaneous w/publishing of this title. Black boards, gilt cover signature, black cloth spine wrap, black relief spine titles on crisp gilt field, moderate shelf wear. Pages near fine, clean. Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Dust wrapper, fine; unclipped 23.00, protected in new, clear sleeve. Cover shot by David Hiser of a shaved HST w/shades, medallion necklace, and sheriff's hexagram badge, during his campaign for mayor of Aspen. Back panel features a smoking shaded filter-tipped in the red Eldorado against b.g. of giant USA flag. Printed in USA 8/94 at back flap. Attractive black jacket w/gold titles, images over by Jennifer Eisenpresser. Rare near fine signed first edition in same wrapper. America's gonzo journalist hits the trail in this hilarious report on the hideous race for the White House between slick Willy and H.W. The inimitable Thompson takes us on his special brand of a surreal campaign swing--and relives the lowlights, oddities, screwups, and the peculiarly telling moments that define a man and his longings. Gonzo is "trapped like a rat in Mr. Bill's neigborhood." 247 pages. Insured post.. Signed by Author. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.
Synopsis
Better Than Sex: Confessions of a Political Junkie (Gonzo Papers, #4) Hunter S. Thompson shares his unique perspective of the 1992 presidential campaign with a book made up of reprinted articles, memos to editors, and intoxicated diatribes in campaign stop bars. There are also pages and pages of faxes, including some gems sent to Hillary Clinton herself, including subsequent apology faxes.
