About
By MartyHello and welcome.
I remember hearing a quote from someone (I cant remember who.) “Everywhere I go I bring a dictionary with me, because it has every book ever written in it.” Think about it, 26 letters are responsible for some the finest reading history has to offer.
I am a book collector with a main focus on Hunter S. Thompson. HST Books grew out of my needs as a collector. Over the years I found it was a tricky business trying to find the right editions, prints and articles at the right price. Another major problem I encountered was trying to get books in the best condition possible. So the main aim of this site is to help you along with your collecting and hopefully I’ll add some interesting HST related stuff along the way. There are interviews, reviews, and one or two competitions.
I’ll do my best to keep the site simple and easy to navigate.
Feel free to contact me through the contact page with any sensible questions, comments or suggestions.
Enjoy, and remember its all about the books.
Marty.

Hi Marty, how are you doing? Drop me a line and let me know how you’re getting on.
Also, I checked the backlinks on my old site and you have my old sites in your links. Can you change it when you have a chance?
Cheers,
Simon
Marty,
Love your page man. Good work! I thought you might be a good person to ask. Who did the cover art for Campaign Trail of 72′ with the American flag/swastika Skull. Was that Steadman’s work?
The American flag skull cover with swastika in the eyes was by Thomas Benton who also did the aspen wall posters. That was the US edition. The UK edition with the American flag swastika and the Nixon screw in it was by Steadman.
Glad you like the site thanks.
