Write Magazine - I have heard a lot about it but have never seen one. (NYMark has seen an issue or located one -by the way hello Mark been a long time eh? If you are the Mark I think you are)

Hi Aaron. Yup, it's me. Glad you're finally here. I hope your family is doing well. I still have the copy of your bib with the wine-stained thumb print and the beautiful broadside you printed!

I do not have, nor have I ever seen, a copy of WRITE. If you search for the WRITE thread, you'll see that I did some research a while back but hit a brick wall. I belive it may have existed at some point (there are too many mentions by Bukowski to doubt it) but I don't think that we mere mortals will ever see a copy.

I was going to wait for Aaron to announce it and am very happy that the cat is out of the bag! I saw the questions being posted and wanted to say something, but wanted to wait for Aaron to say it first. Yes, it is in the works.

EXCELLENT news... Bottle of Smoke Press will really do it justice!

 

[chronic]

Yes, great news! Is this going to be an addendum or a revised edition? Bill, you're more or less a one-man operation, right? I imagine a fully revised edition would be quite a task for you.

 

[bospress.net]

Wow! That is good news! I was thinking about buying Aaron's book, but now I will wait for the updated version...

Hi,
The planned Bibliography is to be an addendum to the Biblio, not a replacement of the biblio. There are some details that are being worked on that will make it more involved than just detailing the years from 1999 - 2007.

What I'm saying, is that you would want to get the Biblio that is out now, as it is an extremely valuable reference that will be built upon for the next volume.

Best,
Bill

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks, Bill! I thought it would be a whole new Biblio, but a separate update is (nearly) just as good...

 

[hoochmonkey9]

welcome, Aaron. glad you're here.

 

[mjp]

Bill, is your update going to have corrections to the original, or strictly new publications? There's a poem missing from the list for Terror Street: https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?t=194

 

[chronic]

There's also the missing lettered edition of "The Day It Snowed In L.A."

 

[nymark]

Aaron, I hope you realize that you've opened a Pandora's Box with this biblio update. You may regret the day you decided to take on this project but, personally, I am thrilled that this is in the works.

 

[AK47]

Mark et al:

The box was opened the day the book was published.

The addendum will cover the A items not included in the book. That leaves an option to issue a supplement to the original book detailing the known errors and omissions. This information can only be compiled as it is found. Items like the missing Terror Street poem will be added to the list.

One unfortunate circumstance of the first go round was the inability to locate all of the original publication info i.e. Paget and some others.

Chronic- is there a thread related to the lettered Day It Snowed? Do you have a copy that you can detail for me? There is no indication of a lettered series in the colophon for this Paget item or the Paget Barfly. However the colophon of Bukowski/Purdy letters indicates a lettered series which is a known item that is openly traded sold etc.

If there is a letterd Day It Snowed it is quite surprising that it has eluded the likes of Montfort, Klein, Berlinski, etc. Surprising but not impossible. I suppose when it comes to collecting Bukowski anything is possible. Write?/Right...

Here's a thread. There's even a picture. https://bukowskiforum.com/showthread.php?p=6062#post6062

This is the genius of Bukowski.net in action. Instant access. Thanks MJP.

Well there is certainly no lack of mystery surrounding Paget Press or the items they produced.

Aaron, Bill,
how about adding a CDR for full-text research?

 

[bospress.net]

Hi,
There will probably be a CD included, but it will not be of the books contents. The biggest problem with something like that is that there is no control once that is digital. It would only take one preson posting the contents on the internet, and then the copies would start circulating. Aaron and I have other plans...

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, though. Using bukowski.net to find poems is still the best way, as that is updated with each new book.

Hit me back with more questions!

Best,
Bill

 

[roni]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question, though.

No, your understanding was perfectly right.

Sure, I see the point of spreading-danger. This IS a problem.
Unfortunately I see no working method to avoid this, so I totally understand you'd rather not do it.

[I was thinking, b/c in Germany we have a publisher devoted to offer CDRs of literary and other works (most of which are old enough to be copyright-free, I must admit). And it was of great use for me to own one with the works of Nietzsche, when I was working on a paper about him.
A well done index is a fine thing, sure, but the new possibilities of full-text research can be a blast!
I have sometimes dropped in conversations with publishers/editors how useful it would be, to have Bukowski in such a form. And even a guy from this CDR-publishing-house in Berlin told me, he does NOT think, it's impossible to get the rights for this at least from the German licence-owners. Not totally impossible.
I don't know if you know about the works of Robert Sandarg on Bukowski and classical music - he literally has COUNTED every time, when Buk mentiones a composer, to find out, how often and in what context he referrs to them. A work like this would have been MUCH easier with a full-text-digital-resource.]

But as I said: I can clearly understand your point.

 

[ROC]

So... Bill, Aaron

How's the update coming along?

:)

 

[mjp]

Who was that masked man?

 

[ROC]

and why did he leave his horse here?

 

[Purple Stickpin]

And is there really a difference between the Trade edition and Photographer's copies of Horsemeat?

 

[DirtyJersey13]

Bill , whatever became of the Roberts/Krumhansl collaboration?

 

[esart]

I just wanted to welcome Aaron. Welcome Aaron! Glad to have you here. Honored really.

 

[bospress.net]

Is Aaron here again? If so, please e-mail me at bill@bospress.net.

 

[mjp]

False alarm.

AK47 was last seen: Mar 24, 2007

 

[esart]

Sorry, I wasn't paying attention to the dates.

 

[roni]

And is there really a difference between the Trade edition and Photographer's copies of Horsemeat?

Yes. The latter are marked "Photographer's Copy" in the colophon. The Montfort estate still has two of them (plus #1 of the 2 Ciba-Print-Copies - with a personal inscription to MM).


p.s. @Purple:
I love your new avatar.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Hey roni: Krumhansl indicates that there are 130 copies signed, 100 of which are for sale (this is what I meant by "Trade" edition, but that word is a misnomer even though K uses it) and an additional 15 copies marked Photographer's Copy that are also signed. The issue is that K also states that "all 15 are signed and are identical to the previous volume but contain "glossy prints" instead of the "matte finish" prints used in the trade edition."

I have a Photographer's Copy, but I haven't found any evidence from owners of the regular edition that the photo style in mine is any different from the photo style in theirs, although I haven't actually seen any copy but mine.
