Published by Black Sparrow Press in 1993, this is a First Edition Hardcover signed by Charles Bukowski.

Only 600 copies of this edition were published, this being #464.

This copy has some spotting on the top edges of the paper, but is in otherwise Fine condition.

Though he wrote novels, short stories and poems, some of Bukowski’s best work came in the form of letters. Anyone who has enjoyed reading Bukowski’s fiction will find these writings just as enjoyable.

Of the three volumes, this was the first, published by Black Sparrow Press in 1993 under the title, “Screams from the Balcony: Selected Letters 1960-1970.” This is a critical period in Bukowski’s life, when he had yet to reach any type of fame. He is being published in hundreds of small magazines, has his first real books published by LouJon Press, and becomes a father for the first time.

The rest, as they say, is history, and this book documents that history in humorous, savage letters that let you peek into the real life of Charles Bukowski.
This copy came from estate of Red Stodolsky, owner of Baroque Book Store and a close friend of Charles Bukowski.
