RARE 1st U.K. Ed 1972 Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas Hunter S. Thompson, Paladin

Description: On offer is a rather worn first United Kingdom edition of HST's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Paladin 1972. It has 190 pages. The first edition of the book in Britain was this paperback version. And I don't believe the U.K. ever had a hardback edition. Of course this book has all the original drawings by Ralph Steadman. I bought this book new in 1973 in a bookstore in Paris where I was working as a correspondent for United Press International. A sticker on the back cover shows 8.85 which was the price in French francs. At the time I signed and dated on the first inside page. See photo. As you can see the spine has a tear or two. The binding is partly holding up. There are loose pages. Seems like about the first 36 are loose. The book obviously needs to be handled with care. Handled roughly, it could begin to come apart. There should be enough photos to give a good idea of the physical condition of the book. On the inside of the back cover a friend drew me a map. See photo
