My favorite Hunter Thompson book is HELL'S ANGELS. It was written pre-celebrity, when he was a working journalist rather than a brand name for drunken literary rebellion. I like Paul Cowan too, his book about how much he hated the Peace Corps, MAKING OF AN UN-AMERICAN, is really good. Incidentally we have that Sale book at Pratt Central....
@ferdinandthecrow I have "Hell's Angels"; it will probably be my next Thompson, but I'm not in much of a hurry. I have "Un-American," too, haven't read it yet. I wonder if he's the same Paul Cowan who directed the Canadian anti-pornography documentary "Give Me Your Soul"? And I'm not surprised we have Sale at the Pratt; we have just about everything at the Pratt!
@ferdinandthecrow That's hilarious. The illustrations in this one looked pretty good. Of course, it could be a different Peter Hurd, just as I suspect it's a different James Baldwin.
Awesome haul! I love your hauls! It gives me new books to look at. I hope that I can sometime go to the book thing. Even though MD is really far away. LOL! Thank you so much for showing us the books you got!!

@rebeccaoppenheimer Don't think that's the same Paul Cowan. TRIBES OF AMERICA, by him, is good too.

Peter Hurd...he did an official portrait of LBJ that LBJ hated....LBJ said "That's the ugliest thing I ever saw." (If it's the same Peter Hurd.)
