This is the German edition of the Charles Bukowski novel, Women. Bukowski’s original title for the book was “Love Tale of the Hyena”, which publisher Zweitausendeins decided to use.
This copy is inscribed by Spain Rodriguez, one of the original Underground Comix artists. Spain illustrated the cover eight interior drawings.
The front cover depicts a notorious argument Bukowski had with Linda King before they finally ended the relationship for good. The title page (also in color) shows an overweight Bukowski throwing up.
There are also seven black and white interior drawings. One drawing is a sex scene and the others are composed of individual portraits of women depicted in the novel. Each has a unique visual persona adapted from Bukowski’s descriptions in the book.
It’s a beautifully designed book with a stitched binding, cloth bookmark string, and a hardcover laminated jacket.
This copy is in Near Fine-minus condition with some light wear to the laminated jacket and a small bump on the right side of the cover near the title.
Great selection and great service. Quality shipping and packaging. First class all the way. Will be back for more as the pricing is the best. I look around for the best price and selection and always come back here. Thank you for everything. Ladd
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.
Everything is perfect, the autograph is perfectly packaged with great care and accompanied by items that really add that extra touch. Thank you very much for the attention you give to these works !
