Just to be clear: the illustrated image on the page just before the autograph page is a print/reproduction of an original Buk painting, and not an actual Buk painting itself....correct? The colophon wording is throwing me off: "...original silkscreen print".
Thank you very much, all, for your corroborating insight. It was the 326 total = 300 numbered + 26 lettered that threw me off.
This one does indeed have have the silkscreen print on the page in front of the signature. I guess it would be a bit more "special" if he had signed this actual book...
I just picked up this copy of Screams From The Balcony on eBay. Bukowski signature on the page before the Editor's Notes page, and the colophon is hand-numbered 31/300 (meanwhile the colophone says osmething about 600 copies, not 300....weird eh?)
I'm no book collector, in fact this is a gift...
