"flatsigned" Can someone tell me exactly what "flatsigned" (the term, not the bookseller) is supposed to mean?

Just how does e-bay work sniping? Do the paid snipers get some kind of preference for bid placement? Or a predetermined last bid?

How about Auden Charlie: One by Auden has always been one of my favorites. It is from "Twelve Songs" and goes like this: Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone, Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone, Silence the pianos and with muffled drum Bring out the coffin, let the...

Erik: Is Auctiva totally free? Are their higher charges on sales? Just wondering why everyone wouldn't use the heightened graphics and selling tools on all their e-bay items if it is all free?

That is totally wierd! What an all-in-one bonanza for the person who collects Buk, Shelley and Sinead memorabilia.

I think the more positive vibes in a lot of Bukowski's later work have simply to do with having a lot more money and therefore a more comfortable life. I experience glee reading about his own good feelings when he gets into the Beemer, turns the key, listens to the perfect hum of the ultimate...

Only that the posthumous stuff is more out there in book stores and in libraries right now. I think that the European academics and Lehman is an English one I think have always appreciated Bukowski more. It's funny how the capatalistic, competitive mentality is so evident in our halls of...

I'd be curious to know how many are printed in subsequent printings. When you think about it, 27 printings is a lot. If the printings were small, did it have something to do with Black Sparrow's capacity to produce large numbers in one printing or was it financial, i.e., did Martin have to...

Not to mention that Bukowski has been neglected by these poetry collection editors for so many years or given short shrift while the Berrymans and Jarrells have been overemphasized. Do you know who edited this one? I can guarantee you that if it had been an American anthology (American...

Here's my collection. I have been collecting Bukowski since the early 80's and bought many of my signed limited editions at initial retail price through my local bookseller. Back then and through the early nineties, you could buy them for $40 or $50 bucks. Crucifix - 1st signed 2 New Years...

Yeah, I've always been curious about the history behind "Rose". I bought a copy when it first came out at the very reasonable price of ($50 I think). Based on such a small printing and the pretty turquoise paper and shit, I thought it would escalate in value like crazy. It never really has...

Hi GrahamCooke: I'll just throw my two cents out there though I think there are more critical minds in this forum than mine when it comes to making specific judgments about the quality of Bukowski's posthumous work. I have read all of his work published before he died and only a few of the...

That one on e-bay is a litmus edition too, but 1968. Is it the first edition? And, is the one with the buk photos (1975) a 2nd printing of that edition with the letters? Well, which one is the true first? The litmus first or the one I see that is 1968 from Berkeley/Exchange. I have seen one...

The mad Frenchman is also currently bidding on signed editions of You Get So Alone and Last Night of The Earth...They were listed at very inexpensive starting prices and I initially got that little skipped heartbeat feeling that maybe I could get one of them at a decent (cheap) price, yeah I...

I also agree about Last Night of the Earth Poems -

MJP: Do you know a ballpark figure of what the litmus one sells for? Also, do you know how big of a printing they did?

Hank Solo, that's the London Mag one I meant, not the goofy one with the pencil drawing of a couple of teenagers.

Dangling and War It's a tie for me: Dangling In The Tournefortia and War All The Time.

Days Run Away I was a freshman at University of Southern Maine in Portland and a guy in my German language class handed me a copy of The Days Run Away.... I read it in like a couple of hours and went straight to the school library where much to my surprise they had several by Bukowski and so I...

That's great. Which Carver collection is it from?

Fante The best thing Buk ever did for me besides giving me his own work was turning me on to Fante. I howl when reading the Arturo Bandini saga and his other work. It is just so close to some of my own experience and to so many of my Italian friends growing up, even though many years before...

I was amazed to see reprint BSP paperbacks (not even 1st editions) of South of No North and Factotum and one or two others recently selling on E-Bay (British seller and I assume British bidders) for unbelieveable prices, like $45 and $75. I can't figure out why because these Brit sellers and...

Great! Thanks for the photos. Do you know what happened to the inventory? Ecco didn't get it, did they?

If I had an extra $300 I'd spend it on a signed first ed. of Buk's. When I donate to causes, I prefer to do it locally where I can assure myself that it is not being wasted. Something tells me that I wouldn't approve of the way you spent my $300. I'd be curious to know what other forums you've...

Over the years, I have turned many people on to him. When I owned paperbacks, I lent them out freely. While I have one female friend who appreciates him, I must say that most have thought him to be a real misogynist and couldn't get beyond that to appreciate the humor. For me and the male...
