Author's first book. Laid in (loose) is a bookplate that has been signed by the author (HST, early bookplate Hunter made up on his computer then signed). In 1965, Carey McWilliams, editor of The Nation, offered Thompson the opportunity to write a story based on his experience with the California-based Hells Angels motorcycle club. After The Nation published the article (May 17, 1965), Thompson received several book offers and spent the next year living and riding with the Hell's Angels. The relationship broke down when the bikers concluded that Thompson was exploiting them for his personal gain. The gang demanded a share of the profits from his writings and after an argument at a party Thompson ended up with a savage beating, or "stomping" as the Angels referred to it. When this book was published "....Mr. Thompson was twenty-nine years old and was known as an avid reader, a relentless drinker and a fine hand with a .44 Magnum."

Signed by the author on the half-title. A nice big rendering of the author's unmistakable signature on the half-title page (with "*"). This book answers, once and for all, the question, "To what extent are human beings sacred, and to what extent are they machines?" Illustrations by Vonnegut, including a very good drawing of an electric chair in the basement of the Shepherdstown Adult Correctional Institution, just outside Midland City. Basis for the big screen film that starred Bruce Willis, Nick Nolte and Albert Finney, directed by Alan Rudolph
