Description: The Curse of Lono by Hunter S. Thompson ill. by Ralph Steadman SIGNED by both. #197/ 1,000 copies. The lowest number I seen online. It has only been opened to look at the book for pictures... which is still sealed in plastic. I will break the seal if needed to verify the signatures. I have a video of the outside plastic being broken for the first time on November 5 2023. Measures 13x17.3 202 pages in slipcase with ribbon to help slide it out.. in original box stored in climate controlled enviroment 1st Published in 1983, The Curse of Lono is a gonzo masterwork, mixing Hunter S. Thompson's hallucinogenic writinh with the splattery illustration of Ralph Steadman. Long out of print and coveted by collectors this zanny amalgam of wordplay and wild draftsmanship is now resurrected in Taschen Collector's Edition, full color, large scale ride to the dark dide of America. Hunter S. Thompson 's and Ralph Steadman's most eccentric book. No one expected Taschen's re-edition of The Curse of Lono to end up being Hunter S. Thompson's swang song, and his sudden death the month before it's release made the event a bittersweet one. I won this from targard (the cigarette filter company's)in a hunter s Thompson look alike contest in 2013. I hate to part with it but i have some expenses that need to be paid soon. Willing to accept offers, but not trying to give it away. It is one if the last things hunter signed before his suicide, so there's that. his is a rare and highly collectible edition of Hunter S. Thompson's The Curse of Lono, featuring illustrations by Ralph Steadman. The book is a limited edition, signed by the author and illustrator, and numbered 197 out of 1000 copies. It is a hardcover book with English text, published by Taschen in 2005. The book is in excellent condition and would make a great addition to any literature or collector's library.
