The Great Shark Hunt: Strange Tales from a Strange Time, Hunter S. Thompson
First edition, fifth printing, inscribed by Thompson in gold marker to the flyleaf and dated on the front pastedown – "To Fadi / How'd you do it? Thanks in advance. Sangre por Sangre." A fantastic inscription on Thompson's noted collection of essays from 1956 to the end of the 1970s, the first of what would become four volumes in The Gonzo Papers series.
