Sobre este artículo

US,slim 8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.[Stated US 1st edn, complete letter line A-E.The true HB+dw/dj 1st edn however,was first published in London,by Ebury Press,1995 - see my book ID rja26517.] FINE+/FINE+. Neat,blue ink,previous owner name+date to top of ffe,but no price-clip to dw/dj.Bright,crisp,clean,matt colour pictorial artwork dw/dj,illustrated by Ralph Steadman; with negligible shelf-wear and creasing to edges - no nicks or tears present.Top+fore-edges bright and clean; contents bright,tight,clean and pristine - no dog-ear reading creases to any pages' corner tips - possibly an unread copy - apart from my own collation? Publisher's bright,clean,original,plain red paper-covered boards with bright,crisp,blocked silver gilt letters to spine/backstrip and immaculate plain white endpapers.US,slim 8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn, 80pp [unpaginated] includes a b/w line illustrated half-title page,b/w line illus double-page title page,and profuse Ralph Steadman b/w illus to every page, majority of which are double-paged,throughout the text and the book.
Once upon a time,Ralph Steadman visited his friend Hunter S. Thompson at Owl Farm,his mountain home high above Aspen,Colorado.There he made the acquaintance of a certain cat named Jones.
Jones was master of all he surveyed.When he wanted something from a human,he invariably got it; the rest of the time he was serenely unavailable.And Jones was mercurial even by the standards of Hunter S. Thompson (with whom he shared a mutual respect and nocturnal habits): "Both made demands and were locked into worlds reserved for selfish gods." One minute Jones was disarmingly placid and fluffy,the next a claw-wielding terror.No one who knew Jones - not Steadman,not Thompson,not even the late and great John Belushi - was any match for his wiles.
In short,Jones was extremely catlike.His anarchic sense of fun mirrored Steadman's own and led to the creation of this irresistibly playful tale that will enchant humans the world over.
