About this Item

America; by Ralph Steadman; with an introduction by Dr. Hunter S. Thompson; Straight Arrow Books, San Francisco, 1974. Ralph Idris Steadman (born 15 May 1936) is a British illustrator best known for his collaboration and friendship with the American writer Hunter S. Thompson. Steadman is renowned for his political and social caricatures, cartoons, and picture books. As well as writing and illustrating his own books and Thompson's, Steadman has worked with writers including Ted Hughes, Adrian Mitchell and Brian Patten, and also illustrated editions of Alice in Wonderland, Treasure Island, Animal Farm, the English translation of Flann O'Brien's Gaelic-language classic The Poor Mouth, and most recently, Fahrenheit 451. Steadman has drawn album covers for numerous music artists, including the Who, Exodus, Frank Zappa and Ambrosia. Hunter Stockton Thompson (1937 2005) was an American journalist and author who founded the gonzo journalism movement. He rose to prominence with the publication of Hell's Angels (1967), a book for which he spent a year living and riding with the Hells Angels motorcycle club to write a first-hand account of their lives and experiences. Author Tom Wolfe has called Thompson the greatest American comic writer of the 20th century. This large format book, pages measuring 304mm X 228mm is in fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket that is in a protective mylar wrap. This large volume may require additional postage.
