Hey Rube

Author(s): Hunter S. Thompson Title: Hey Rube Publication: New York: Simon & Schuster, 2004 Edition: Signed First Edition Description: Octavo, 246pp., publishers gray boards with red binding and silver gilt details. Full numberline. Signed by author on the title page in black marker. First state dust jacket with $23.00 price intact. First edition and first printing signed with receipt and ticket stub to the book signing, which took place at Book Soup in West Hollywood, CA. The signing, which was the next to last public signing Thompson would give in his lifetime, was apparently a fiasco, with Thompson vomiting outside the bookstore and then Benicio Del Toro holding his head up while he signed books!
