The Cozumel Diary - Hardcover Book is a story of a week in the life of Hunter S. Thompson, as photographed by photographer Al Satterwhite. The book includes over 40 never-before-released images from that week, this "diary" recounts the misadventures of one particularly memorable assignment. The book includes a foreword by Craig Vetter and the original Playboy Interview. Photographer Al Satterwhite shows that he and Dr. Hunter S. Thompson were there during the week to produce beautiful and articulate limited-edition photographic book, Cozumel Diaries. This is also the period that Hunter researches The Great Shark Hunt. Captured as laid-back and casual, Thompson is not yet the personage he is to become.
