Published by the legendary Jeffrey Weinberg of Water Row books, this is undoubtedly the finest catalog ever produced of Charles Bukowski’s work.
It lists 335 Bukowski works with period prices from 1984.
But this “catalog” is much, much than a listing of books.
Charles Bukowski not only approved of the catalog, but contributed to it with four full-page original drawings and the first appearance of the poem, About A Non-Typing Night. The poem is printed in the form of a hand-written facsimile. There are also nine photographs by Bukowski’s personal photographer, Michael Montfort.
Making it more special is an introduction by famed collector and Bukowski bibliographer Al Fogel, which will make you want to be a Bukowski collector yourself.
Tipped in is a postcard size cut-out from the cover featuring Bukowski’s photograph.
This is one of only 300 copies softcover copies produced, this one hand-numbered #269/300.
This copy is in Near Fine-minus condition. The covers have some toning and a couple of pencil point-sized marks, as well as some light creases along the spine. Inside, it’s well-read, but clean with dog ears.
A must-have for serious Bukowski collectors.
