Kevin Ring’s Beat Scene magazine is a treasure for Bukowski and Beat fans alike. I’m in the “never the twain shall meet” camp, but in this case the exception is deserved. Plus, Kevin’s a good guy who put a lot of work and high production value into each issue of the magazine.

There is piece about Bukowski's 1978 appearance on the French literary talk show Apostrophes, hosted by Bernard Pivot.

There is also a piece on Bukowski and the FBI.

Buk / Steve Richmond 33RPM "Poetry"

Mike is passionate and fascinating. I bought him the 1968 vinyl "Poetry" with Steve Richmond, one of the rarest items related to Buk. I'm so happy.

A Great Addition to my Bookshelf...and my Life

Can’t speak any more highly about this business and it’s knowledgeable and outgoing proprietor than to say that, in a little over a month the two of us have gone from customer and merchant to legitimate friends. That’s because Mike is not only accommodating and fair with his prices but knows his subject matter thoroughly and really goes that extra mile to assure you’re happy. I have made two completely-satisfying purchases which I value entirely but only half as much as I cherish having made Mike’s acquaintance. Good stuff here. For all your poetic and literary needs. Thanks!

A special Bukowski piece, perfectly handled

Absolutely perfect.

The 1993 New Years Greeting arrived in excellent condition, exactly as described and even better than expected. The signature and drawing are beautiful, and the fact that it is copy #1/226 makes it even more special.

Packaging was outstanding — extremely careful and professional, with great attention to protection during international shipping.

Mike was impeccable throughout the entire process: kind, professional, reliable, and clearly passionate about what he does.

A truly excellent experience from start to finish.
