Title: Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream
Author: Thompson, Hunter S.
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: New York: Random House, 1972. First edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. A sharp, Near Fine copy in like dust jacket. Some fading to the board edges, as usual, but clean and unmarked internally. Dust jacket with the spine a trifle faded, faint dampstain at the base of the spine and a crease to the rear flap. Overall, an appealing copy of Thompson's most famous work. The crackling and infamous roman à clef, the genre-defining work of "gonzo journalism" from the man Tom Wolfe called "the twentieth century's greatest comic writer in English." Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was based on the experiences Thompson had travelling with activist Oscar Zeta Acosta (nicknamed "Dr. Jonzo" within the work). Thompson had originally wanted to speak to Acosta as part of a story he was writing on a Mexican journalist who had been killed by the Los Angeles Police Department, and the two men had gone to Las Vegas to find a safer and less charged place to speak, away from the racial tensions of the city. The account was originally published in Rolling Stone in November 1971; publication in book form followed in 1972, in dust jackets dated "6/72" on the rear flap (as here). Fear and Loathing was later adapted into the 1998 cult classic film directed by Terry Gilliam and starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro. "The whole book boils down to a kind of mad, corrosive prose poetry that picks up where Norman Mailer's An American Dream left off and explores what Tom Wolfe left out" (contemporary New York Times review).

Title: The Films of Errol Flynn
Author: Thomas, Tony, Rudy Behlmer, and Clifford McCarty
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Fine in Near Fine dj
Description: Secacus NJ: The Citadel Press. Fine in Near Fine dj. 1975 (c.1969). 6th printing. Hardcover. [a nice clean copy, no discernible wear to the book; the jacket is slightly rubbed and lightly soiled along the front hinge, and has a tiny puncture wound near the upper left corner of the front panel, but still has a bright and fresh appearance; a nicer copy you are not likely to find]. (B&W photographs) A relatively early entry in the long-running "Films of" book series, which follows the formula -- biographical front material, followed by a chronological film-by-film rundown of the subject's career -- but is also an exemplary volume in the series. This is largely because it eschews the "filler" that too often clutters up these books -- i.e. perfunctory plot synopses accompanied by snippets/excerpts from contemporary reviews of each films -- instead presenting a concise (but well-researched and informative) account of each film's production, along with some intelligent critical commentary, where warranted. (Which means the authors don't waste any more space than necessary on dreck like MARU MARU and CROSSED SWORDS.) You might not think that it would have taken three authors to put something like this together, but these three gentlemen were longtime friends and collaborators -- and lifelong fans and admirers of Errol Flynn. Thomas, in fact, some years later became one of the most prominent writers to push back -- hard -- against the scurrilous portrait of Flynn presented by the Charles Higham in his book "Errol Flynn: The Untold Story." Thomas's 1990 book "Errol Flynn: The Spy Who Never Was" remains the definitive rebuttal to Higham's sensational but unfounded (even fabricated) accusations that Flynn had served as a Nazi spy before and during World War II. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this moderately heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** (xx) .
