Better Than Sex
New York: Random House, 1994. Hardcover.
A Near Fine copy in all regards. The front pastedown carries the library stamp of NCAC—National Coalition Against Censorship—from whom the book was acquired and a bookplate stating, “Donated by Joseph and Shirley Wershba 2007.” Joseph Wershba (1920–2011) was a longtime CBS journalist and correspondent. Second printing. Black and white illustrations, photographs, and documents throughout. 246 pages. 6.5” x 9.25”.
Better Than Sex is the fourth and last volume in the series of books dubbed The Gonzo Papers. The first three volumes are collections of Hunter S. Thompson’s (1937–2005) articles from various publications. This final book is mostly new material covering the 1992 election of Bill Clinton and opens with Thompson confessing the assassination of JFK to his son. A wild and irreverent ride, as one should expect.
