Yeah, the book is really enjoyable, though it's not a long read. It's more like a mini version of Fear and Loathing...

Lono is currently difficult to get hold of and you can pay anything from $50 upwards for a copy, but I understand a new edition is in the works.

...Fear And Loathing is a pretty slim read to begin with.

I am certain that when this movie is released, there willl be a reissue of the book to tie in with the movie release. Sort of silly to make a movie of a book no one can get. The question is whether or not Steadman's original drawings will be intact. Knowing how closely tied togehter Thompson and Steadman have always been, I think it's a good bet we'll get a faithful reprint (probably with a new cover depicting the star of the movie, tho). Johnny Depp?
