While books are the most popular way to collect works by Charles Bukowski, broadsides represent an equally satisfying way to build a Bukowski collection.

Brilliant

I ordered this for my mum, who loves Buk so much that he was a household name in our house growing up. She has all of his works (apart from post office which she lent out and was never returned). I wanted to treat her to something special and this shop is the very place to get the perfect gift for her. It was shipped the same day and arrived to the UK and was delivered in less than a week. I’m extremely impressed and my mum is thrilled to have something which he has held and signed. sending so much love to The Buk Shop team.

Sparrow Sparkles!

I've been collecting books for decades, and am totally in awe of some of the offerings from The Buk Shop. Plus, the owner, Mike, cares how we finicky collectors feel about perfection. A place to visit if you have any interest in Hank Bukowski. Paul

Excellent service & great items

This was my first experience buying something from The Buk Shop and I am extremely satisfied with everything! The price, the prompt shipping service, the nice and neat packaging, the communications via email with the shop. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough. If you are a fan of Bukowski's work (as I am), then this is the number 1 place to shop!
