Published by Black Sparrow Press in 1990, this is a First Trade Edition hardcover copy of Charles Bukowski’s The Last Night Of The Earth Poems.

This copy came from estate of Red Stodolsky, owner Baroque Book Store and a close friend of Charles Bukowski. Bukowski would go by Red’s shop regularly and the two would go to lunch at Musso & Frank Grill. But first Bukowski would sit and sign a pile of books for Red to sell. The great thing about these copies is that Bukowski actually held the books as he signed them. With the limited-edition Black Sparrow Books, Bukowski would sign individual pages that were later inserted into the books.

This copy is Inscribed to “Arnie and Cindy”. Arnie was Red's son and Cindy was his daughter-in-law. In addition to his signature, Bukowski has added, "Ya got great parents", referring to Red and his wife Mina.

Considered by many to be one of Bukowski’s finest collections, this copy is in Near Fine condition with some light spotting on the top paper edges and a bit of shelf wear to the bottom of the covers.
