About this Item

First edition. Quarto. Unpaginated. Packed with his scabrous drawings, some of which are from his jaunts with Dr Hunter S. Thompson but most of which appear here for the first time. Each section (''New York'', ''Money'', ''Las Vegas'', ''Miami'', etc) has an introductory note by the artist. There is also an interview with Thompson about working with Steadman. On the title-page is printed a somewhat disingenuous Warning Note by Steadman: ''What you see in these drawings, of course, is not you Americans. They are only cartoons - not to be taken seriously - disregard them. They are terrible propaganda and obviously the ravings of a demented scribbler!''Presentation copy from the artist, boldly inscribed across two pages: ''To Michael ffolkes from an admirer - from in fact Ralph Steadman - 31.5.75''. The recipient was a fellow cartoonist and contributor to the satirical magazine Private Eye in the days when its stable of graphic artists was outstanding.Tail of spine slightly bumped and showing signs of damp. Very good in very good dustwrapper nicked and rubbed at the edges.
