This is a Hardcover copy of the 6th Printing Charles Bukowski’s book, Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit
It was published by Black Sparrow Press in 1987.
Bukowski has signed this copy on the title page.
For Black Sparrow limited edition, signed books, Bukowski would sign the individual colophon pages that would later be inserted into the books.
In this case, Bukowski actually held the finished book when he signed it.
This copy is in Fine unread condition with a cloudy acetate jacket.
File Box 5 CA
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.
Book was as described and arrived quickly. Bukshop was very helpful throughout the process and very considerate.
Tutto perfetto, spedizione, comunicazione ed ovviamente l'opera d'arte scelta!! Consiglio per chi ama Buk
Was more than happy with Whoreson Dog. Also the extras the Buk Store included with my purchase. Thanks!
The internet needs more places like this! Item described perfectly, which is tough to do for books.
Just as advertsied. Thanks for these special items - love the shop.
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!
this shop is always speedy in delivery and packaging is so polite.quality of item is no doubt too.
owner's personality is so wonderful.
from now on,i just want to buy item about bukowski in this 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.
Thank you Mike for your amazing work!
Excellent experience from start to finish. Simply could not have been any better. Great items. Great seller. Great items. Great communication. Great service.
From the communication to the careful packaging and surprises, I am impressed with the service of this independent shop in the Carolinas. This is the place for a budding or wise Buk collector. I know I can reach out if I have any questions about Bukowski's work and art since a true fan and gentleman is at the helm - steering the ship.
Very satisfied!
Item is is great shape - was packaged well and shipped carefully. Thank you!
