"Gonzo" is almost a coffee table book. It's worth EVERY penny! Beautiful pictures of HST and his first wife, Sandy and their son Juan. The images are glorious and creative. Don't be distracted by the price. BUY IT! (HST would approve :o)Book Review: My Grunion needs a good scale remover.

Summary: 4 Stars
When I ordered this book I did not know what to expect. I knew that it was a collection of Hunter S. Thompsons assorted junk - pictures, drawings, notes... I admit that I am a huge fan of Hunter's work and I read every single book out there. And this book you can't read really. There are several old letters photocopied in this book and that's basically it for the readable part. The pictures, however, are absolutely beauiful. They are arranged chronologically and if you have read some of the Thompson books you will recognize a lot of things you have read about. A little extra that really gave me goosebumps are the few original notepad sheets in this book. Some of the little papers which were written in Las Vegas in April 71 may not be easy to descipher but they deliver a feeling of style and gonzo that cannot be matched by anything printed in set-font words. I hoped for a little more content to be honest but as a collector and admirer of Thompsons work I am glad to have bought this!Book Review: Box? Picture? Individually Numbered?
Summary: 4 Stars
The review for this stated, "..this extraordinary package includes a specially designed box that contains the book and a limited edition gallery-quality photograph by Thompson. ...offering of only three thousand individually numbered copies available worldwide..." This was a gift for my wife: A huge Gonzo Fan, alomst of mythical proportions. Not too sure what happened to the box it was supposed to come in, or the Gallery-quality photgraph for that matter. Couldn't find anything indivually numbered except each page. Kinda like any book. However....Got her this and a Bukowski piece and Bukowski lays forgotten and she loves Gonzo. It is a beautiful book that inspires joy and laughter in someone who I know would have left me for Hunter in a heartbeat.
