Published in 1991, In The Shadow of the Rose had a run of 750 copies that were all signed by Charles Bukowski.
Although 777 copies is a very large signed edition for Clack Sparrow Press, there was no unsigned trade or softcover versions. So, if you’re thinking about buying this as a gift, chances are the person has never read this Bukowski book.
This is also an oversized book, measuring 9¾" - 12" tall, making it a very attractive present.
This is copy #295/750 and is in Fine condition. Unlike other Black Sparrow books that had an acetate jacket, this one had a paper cover. This one has a quarte-inch tear at the top of the rear cover.
Also comes with the prospectus from Black Sparrow Press and the annoucment for the book.
I ordered this for my mum, who loves Buk so much that he was a household name in our house growing up. She has all of his works (apart from post office which she lent out and was never returned). I wanted to treat her to something special and this shop is the very place to get the perfect gift for her. It was shipped the same day and arrived to the UK and was delivered in less than a week. I’m extremely impressed and my mum is thrilled to have something which he has held and signed. sending so much love to The Buk Shop team.
What I like about collecting books is the people you meet along the way! Thanks for filling a gap in my collection and delivering it quickly and safely, along with the great communication. I’ll check back often…
Third time I ordered at the Buk Shop. As always, the order was meticulously packed. Great communication upfront. The items arrived quickly in Europe within a few days, without any hassle.
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
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!

I would like to thank the owner of this lovely Bukshop, who helped us, through bunch of obstacles, get this work of art over the ocean and into our hands.
