Joe Petro III's Advance Proof Copy of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson

Joe Petro III obtained an advance proof copy of Hunter S. Thompson's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971) from bookseller Ken Lopez of Hadley, Massachusetts. He had it signed by illustrator Ralph Steadman (and by Thompson) in the kitchen at Owl Farm in 2004. Joe writes "This was the last time Ralph and I saw Hunter alive."



Note:  Original drawings by Ralph Steadman are a thing here at Attempted Bloggery. Your scans are welcome.
