About This Item
Koln & Los Angeles: Taschen, 2005. First Edition Thus. First printing; trade issue. Folio. 38cm x 29cm. Publisher's white paper covered boards; dustjacket; 205pp. Titled in black to spine and front board, with the front in Steadman's signature ink spattered style. Clean and bright, bumped to bottom board corners, in a clean and very bright example of the dustjacket. Were it not for the bumping, a fine copy, as it is; a very good, clean copy indeed.
A visually extremely impressive re-issue of HST's 1983 original, with all of Steadman's frothing, unrestrained artistic energy thrashing around Thompson's text whilst the two of them attempt to rampage around Hawaii in the way HST did Las Vegas, finding as always that with Hunter S. Thompson it isn't the place, it isn't the time, and it isn't the social climate, it's just him, witnessing the world in a way it is never going to be comfortable with. Published in the year of his death, this publication ended up being something of a memorial to a legendary creative partnership.
