This is a signed copy of A Bibliography of Charles Bukowski. It is no. 7/50 copies and includes an attractive color abstract painting signed by Bukowski. Only 50 copies with paintings were available for purchase.
A Bibliography of Charles Bukowski was published by Black Sparrow Press in 1969. It was Bukowski's first bibliography and is still an excellent reference for his early appearances in small magazines in America and Europe. It is signed by Bukowski and Sandy Dorbin, who painstakingly tracked down Bukowski’s appearances in hundreds of small magazines between 1946-1969.
As issued, the bibliography contains a tipped-in facsimile of Bukowski's second separate publication, a broadside printing of "His Wife, The Painter." This was originally issued as Hearse Broadside No. 1 in 1960.
This copy is in Fine condition. The painting was affixed on the opposite page of the broadside, so the glue from the painting side is visible at the top of the broadside. This was just part of the production process.
It comes with the original acetate cover, which is a bit foggy but has done its job in protecting the book.
Note: The painting is not bound into the book like later Black Sparrow books. It is tipped in, so if the buyer wished, they could carefully remove it for framing and later return it to the book.
