Hunter S. Thompson’s most eccentric book in an oversized, signed, limited edition. From a limited edition of only 1000 books, boldly signed on the inside title page in marker by both Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman.
No one expected TASCHEN’s re-edition of The Curse of Lono to end up being Hunter S. Thompson’s swan song, and his sudden death the month before its release made the event a bittersweet one.
The book measures 13.5" x 18", and comes in it's own fabric-covered custom box.
Sold with a Certificate of Authenticity from The Autograph Source (Lifetime Guarantee).
The Curse of Lono is to Hawaii what Fear and Loathing was to Las Vegas: the crazy tales of a journalist`s “coverage” of a news event that ends up being a wild ride to the dark side of Americana. Originally published in 1983, Curse features all of the zany, hallucinogenic wordplay and feral artwork for which the Hunter S. Thompson/Ralph Steadman duo became known and loved. This curious book, considered an oddity among Hunter`s oeuvre, has been long out of print, prompting collectors to search high and low for an original copy. Resurrected by TASCHEN in a bigger size with splendid, full-color illustrations, The Curse of Lono is special 1000-copy edition, numbered and hand-signed by both Thompson and Steadman.
