Published in 1986 by Black Sparrow Press, this is the First Edition Trade Hardcover of the You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense.

This is one of 500 copies of this edition, none of which were distributed as signed.

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. Bukowski has added his trade-mark Little-Man-With-A Bottle sketch.

This copy is in Fine condition with some spotting to the top of the page ends.
