 Poorly packaged February 22, 2009

I received the book in an oversized box with one air pillow for protection. With no packing material to prevent the book from sliding in the box side to side the top binding edge was damaged. Very disappointing.
The content of the book was only maginal at best.
 great book, but poor quality October 20, 2008

I gave this two stars not because it's a bad book, but because the quality of it was awful-- I ordered this as a gift for my brother, and when it arrived the cover had clear plastic cracks/bubbles in it, so I requested an exchange and carefully described the defects in the cover. Well, a few days later Amazon sent me another copy, only the cover on this one looked 10 times worse than the first one. When I contacted customer service about the problem, I was told that they couldn't guarentee the quality of the book at this time and couldn't promise to send me another copy with a perfect cover. So, if you are considering ordering this book, you might want to try getting it somewhere else.
 Excellent, balanced review of his life, work and legacy September 1, 2008
Art Sindlinger (Chicago, IL United States)
Great read. Illuminates both his genius and his jackassery. The many voices providing retrospectives create a vivid 360-degree view of what it was like to work and live with HST - the good, bad and the ugly. Bravo.
 Box? Picture? Individually Numbered? June 13, 2008

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.
GONZO, THE PICTURE BOOK OF DREAMS AND NIGHTMARES June 7, 2008

I got this for a gift a year ago and it is a brilliant well made book. If you a fan of Hunter S. Thompson you will love this and if you do love this book I have some other reading suggestions for you:
"Gonzo" by Jann S. Weener & Corey Seymour
That too also has a introduction by Johnny Depp
and "The Gonzo Way" (Coffee table book) by Anita Thompson (Hunter's former wife)
This is one of the greatest journalists that ever walked in the shadow and light on this Earth. This is a wonderful book.
