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!

Sharing a beer for the Buk shop

From the communication to the careful packaging and surprises, I am impressed with the service of this independent shop in the Carolinas. This is the place for a budding or wise Buk collector. I know I can reach out if I have any questions about Bukowski's work and art since a true fan and gentleman is at the helm - steering the ship.
