Munich: M. Müller & Sohn, 1919. 9x12 inch broadside, paper evenly toned, couple of short, unobtrusive closed tears at right edge, very good. A lovely example of this proclamation issued under Toller's name on behalf of the Provisional Revolutionary Central Council of the short-lived Bavarian Soviet Republic.

Toller had replaced Ernst Niekisch as head of the Central Council on April 8. "To the working people of Bavaria! Bavaria is a Soviet Republic! Great rumors are circulated by those who seek to harm your interests. Everything is calm in Munich. No shots were fired...." Outlines problems with the pre-existing electoral system, promises a new regime of workers' councils. "The farmer has to stand by his plow, the blacksmith by his anvil... All mistrust is misunderstanding! Therefore be united in the Soviet Republic of Bavaria!

First Edition stated below number line 97532468 There is a hint of fading at the top and bottom of the gray boards and foxing predominately on top page edges. Dust jacket has spots and small (1/2") tear top spine . Dust jacket has been protected with Gaylord vinyl covering and 5.95 flap price is unclipped. Heralded as the best book on the dope decade, Hunter Thompson's documented drug orgy through Las Vegas would no doubt leave Nancy Reagan blushing. Under the pseudonym of Raoul Duke, Thompson travels with his Samoan attorney, Dr. Gonzo, in a souped-up convertible dubbed the Great Red Shark. In the trunk, they hide two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half-full of cocaine and a whole galaxy of multicolored uppers, downers, and screamers. A quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a…

Description:
A Near Fine copy with the usual touch of sunning to board edges in a Near Fine bright unclipped dust jacket with a short closed edge tear to the top edge of the front panel and a crease to the front flap. No names, writing, tears or chips to the jacket. The book is a roman à clef, rooted in autobiographical incidents. The story follows its protagonist, Raoul Duke, and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they descend on Las Vegas to chase the American Dream through a drug-induced haze, all the while ruminating on the failure of the 1960s countercultural movement. The work is Thompson's most famous, and is noted for its lurid descriptions of illegal drug use, its early retrospective on the culture of the 1960s, and its popularization of Thompson's highly subjective blend of fact and fiction that has become known as gonzo journalism.

Description:
New York: Random House, 1971. First edition. Near fine in a near fine jacket.. First printing of the book at the heart of the Hunter S. Thompson legend - a beautiful copy, boldly inscribed by illustrator and longtime collaborator Ralph Steadman. A desperate, drug-fueled experiment in 'gonzo' journalism, FEAR AND LOATHING was written during Thompson's stint as Washington Correspondent for ROLLING STONE, and first appeared in the magazine in serial installments. Straddling the hazy border between thinly-veiled fiction and experimental journalism, first composed in feverish hotel-room notebook-scribbling sessions, the book remains HST's best-known and most influential work. Rather uncommon signed by Steadman. Surreal, hallucinatory, endlessly quotable. 8.25'' x 5.75''. Original blind-stamped grey boards, backed in black cloth with silver lettering to spine. In original unclipped ($5.95) dust jacket, designed by Susan Schwab and illustrated by Ralph Steadman. With additional black-and-white…
