Signed book: The Curse of Lono. Deluxe limited collector’s edition, numbered 880/1000. Cologne, Germany: Taschen, 2005. Bound in publisher's white illustrated cloth in orange cloth slipcase, 13.5 x 18.25, 197 pages. Signed on the colophon in blue felt tip by Hunter S. Thompson and Ralph Steadman. Autographic condition: very fine. Book condition: VG+/None in a VG+ case.
First published in 1983, The Curse of Lono is a gonzo masterwork, mixing Hunter S. Thompson’s hallucinogenic writing with the splattery illustration of Ralph Steadman. Long out of print and coveted by collectors, no one expected Taschen’s re-edition of The Curse of Lono to end up being Thompson’s swan song, and his sudden death the month before its release made the event a bittersweet one.
