Description
New York: Modern Library, 1996. First edition thus. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. Inscribed first printing of this anniversary Modern Library edition of book at the heart of the Hunter S. Thompson legend - boldly signed by both Thompson and Steadman. A drug-fueled experiment in 'gonzo' journalism, FEAR AND LOATHING was written during Thompson's stint as Washington Correspondent for ROLLING STONE, and first appeared in the magazine in serial installments. Straddling the hazy border between thinly veiled fiction and experimental journalism, first composed in feverish hotel-room notebook-scribbling sessions, the book remains HST's best-known and most influential work. Surreal, hallucinatory, endlessly quotable. Examples of Thompson's best known book, genuinely signed by both HST and Steadman, are increasingly uncommon. A vibrant copy. 8'' x 5''. Original full grey cloth. In original unclipped ($15.50) photographic jacket. Modern library logo endpapers. [xvii], 484, [2] pages. Boldly inscribed by Ralph Steadman across the half title: "For Jeff Weber / Ralph Steadman / 24 June 97." Steadman's distinctive drip/splatter drawing on opposite page. Additionally signed by Thompson in purple ink on half title page. Trace wear here and there. Else bright, sharp, and sound.

London: Richard Bentley, 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Two volumes. 7.75" x 4.75", pp xii, [13]-308; vii, [1], [9]-328 pp, in original brown blindstamped cloth, spines decorated in gilt, patterned endpapers with publisher's advertisements. Chipping to cloth at spine ends, old repairs visible at joints, but still an attractive set, uncommon in the original cloth. Wagner-Camp 169: "John McLean entered the service of the Hudson's Bay Company during the winter of 1820-21 and worked in the Ontario area for the next decade. He was then sent to New Caledonia by way of the Saskatchewan River and to Fort St. James on Stuart's Lake in British Columbia. Streeter finds McLean's style entertaining but the Company's methods of suppressing competition prosecutable under present United States law." Field 996: "the largest portion of these volumes is devoted to the narration of incidents of travel among the Indians of the territory; descriptions of the life, habits, and character of the different tribes inhabiting it, and the relations of the Hudson's Bay Company to them. All of the statements of the author confirm the most authentic accounts of others....The last volume terminates with a vocabulary of Indian dialects."

A lovely collection of the American mid-west poet's three books featuring poems and ballads to farms and farm life. Will Carlton, born William McKeandree Carleton (1845-1912) in Hudson, Michigan. After college he became a newspaper journalist, when his published poem, "Over the Hill to the Poor House" about the elderly poor, brought about national attention. He moved to Boston and eventually to New York City where his career as a poet and writer continued. (WIKI) While some of Carleton's poems are sentimental, many are humorous and point out human frailties and foibles.
