Bring Me Your Love -- Hardcover by Charles Bukowski and Robert Crumb (1998)

Bring Me Your Love is a classic collaboration between two of the best artists of their generation.

Robert Crumb contributes five illustrations to Bukowski’s classic short story about a man visiting his wife in a mental institution.

This is a 1998 hardcover reprint from Black Sparrow Press and the title page is in black and white. Even reprints of the hardcover are fairly scarce.

Bukowski first met Crumb in 1972 at a party hosted by Liza Williams, who was Bukowski’s girlfriend at the time. Bukowski and Crumb appeared in several magazines and weeklies together prior to them meeting, so Bukowski was familiar with Crumb’s work.

"You know, your stuff is good, kid,” Bukowski told him at the party. “It's the real thing. Just keep away from the cocktail parties.”
