Description: 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."

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. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
