mjp, I visit this site rarely due to your ne'er do well manner and the boorish vile language from your foul postings. I chose to respond on this page because I received an email about my earlier posting. I was asked by Purple Stickpin about Horsemeat photos about a year ago, but never replied to...

skiroomalum as a know it all smart ass try this one on for size. I have spoken to John Martin personally on a regular basis for nearly 45 years, visited his homes with my relatives in Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Santa Rosa his current residence. I have enjoyed the fine cooking of his wife...

Purple Stickpin here's the answer to that old question about the HORSEMEAT pictures. They were all printed as glossies, never was a matte type made as a picture for the book. I spoke to john personally on the subject.

It works perfectly!

Abel, In the event you do not have my email address, it is planahea@verizon.net Regards, Bill

Please send pix, I am very interested in the purchase if the books are in fine condition. Regards, Bill

...and the immature and crude behavior of jmp continues to run rampant !!! It's no small wonder that John Martin cut you off from all contact with Black Sparrow Press and it's staff several years ago. Your small mindedness, bitterness and anger continues to this very day. I assure you that...

Speculation, speculation and more speculation... Gee, I wonder when I sell or donate my rather comprehensive Black Sparrow Press collection if it will be judged as "back door selling?" I have always thought that if you owned something out right you were free to do with it as you wished and that...

Repaying a loan? Perhaps Buk loaned John $25 and John was repaying it. :) Perhaps John made a small purchase from Buk. ;) Perhaps John lost a bet on the horses to Buk. :D Remember, they were best friends to each other in addition to professional associates. Not everything is complicated...

HC, Southwest Airlines will fly you from BWI to Las Vegas for $69. Check out airfares from there to destinations in the Pacific Northwest to see if you can swing an affordable price. It's worth a try. Bill

...who has a Buk soap on a rope mold ??? :D

Bukfan, BSP published about 700 books and other items, I have about 450 of them. Remember, sometimes there were four editions for a single new title. What is not shown in the pix are the annual, New Years Greetings. I have all but one of those. I'm missing the very first one. CRBSmile, I...

My name is Bill. :)

Bill, I have given up on guessing at book prices and ephemeral materials because I don't even come close. While doing my book inventory I came across three volumes that Douglas Messerli of Sun & Moon Press had signed and inscribed to me by Paul Auster the author. I thought how nice Doug had...

Bill, These are the original Hanes underwear products and carry no scent at all. Do you have any idea of the value of them? Purple Stickpin, Early on in my career, I used to foolishly throw away left over BSP broadsides by the dozens. Today I miss having those as part of my collection. I have...

Hi Bill, To some we are a weird idiosyncratic bunch of crazy bibliophiles. When I pull back the heavy purple curtains (They are really 100 count cotton twin bedsheets hung from a series of suspended and adjustable shower rods.) to show some of my books, friends tell me they fell like...

Many suppose that horizontal storing of stacked books leads to binding twists or sagging as mjp noted, but as long as the stacks height and weight is reasonable and books are not squeezed into a space no such damage occurs. Note how the adjustable shelf height is limited. Heat, light and...

Gerard K H Love, At the risk of being thought of as a show off, here is how I maintain my book collection in very fine condition. There is also an opaque dark purple curtain which is pulled in front of the book shelves to protect the books from sunning or other radiant damage. All books shown...

Neither rare or valuable, but authentic! in 1982 Black Sparrow Press produced a line of Buk tee and sweatshirts with an original R. Crumb caricature of Buk on the front. They came in 6 different colors and were a huge hit with booksellers...

In my 31 years of representing BSP as an independent publishers' representative to the book trade, it's the only time I ever...

The Authentic Tee Shirt Why not just go with the authentic Buk tee and sweat shirts produced in 1982 by Black Sparrow Press with an original caricature of Buk by R. Crumb? They were available in six different colors. In my 31 years of representing BSP as an independent publishers'...
