About the Book

" California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again." Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most no-torious motorcycle ... more

      New: NEW A Strange and Terrible Saga. 265pp. Octavo [21cm] Hardcover. Gray cloth with pictorial dustjacket. Pictorial Wraps. New. From the inside jacket flap: "Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most notorious motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living witht he controversial Angels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America."

      Used Like New(1 Copy): Fine in Fine jacket Book. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. Second printing; possibly first printing as Random House begins numberlines w/2 as opposed to standard 1. This edition includes a new introduction by Douglas Brinkley-the original editor. Fine gray cloth boards, stamped gilt spine titles, embossed Modern Library insignia, slight shelf wear. Pages fine. Dj fine; unclipped 23.00, protected in new clear sleeve. Very attractive. Classic black & white shot of Hunter ensconced in shades circa '65 at front; first ed. chose similar image for its rear jacket design. Gonzo journalist and literary roustabout Hunter S. Thompson flies with the angels--Hells Angels, that is. He lives with them, he knows them and their machines, he speaks their language, and he reports back to the world with all the fearsome force of a souped-up cyclone burning rubber. Widely lauded for its up-close and uncompromising look at the Hells Angels motorcycle club, during a time when the gang was highly feared and accused of numerous criminal activities. The New York Times described Thompson's portrayal as "a world most of us would never dare encounter." A wild adventure that reads like a novel. 265 pages.

      About the Book

      " California, Labor Day weekend . . . early, with ocean fog still in the streets, outlaw motorcyclists wearing chains, shades and greasy Levis roll out from damp garages, all-night diners and cast-off one-night pads in Frisco, Hollywood, Berdoo and East Oakland, heading for the Monterey peninsula, north of Big Sur. . . The Menace is loose again." Thus begins Hunter S. Thompson's vivid account of his experiences with California's most no-torious motorcycle gang, the Hell's Angels. In the mid-1960s, Thompson spent almost two years living with the controversial An-gels, cycling up and down the coast, reveling in the anarchic spirit of their clan, and, as befits their name, raising hell. His book successfully captures a singular moment in American history, when the biker lifestyle was first defined, and when such countercultural movements were electrifying and horrifying America. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, writes with his usual bravado, energy, and brutal honesty, and with a nuanced and incisive eye; as The New Yorker pointed out, " For all its uninhibited and sardonic humor, Thompson's book is a thoughtful piece of work." As illuminating now as when originally published in 1967, Hell's Angels is a gripping portrait, and the best account we have of the truth behind an American legend.
