BSP put out The Movie: Barfly but not Barfly. They are different books. True that the framework of the story stays the same and that they are both scripts, but still, different books.

They are indeed different, and I think the Paget edition is much better than the Black Sparrow edition.
BS didn't include the drawings, and the Paget text also seems to be an earlier - more complete? - version. The character descriptions, for example, seem to be shortened and "cleaned up" in the Black Sparrow edition.
My books are all in boxes at the moment, but as I recall, some of the seedier aspects of the character descriptions were cut from the BS version. But they are definitely different versions.

Ok, maybe Roni is right...
No posing a question without knowing the answer...
Or do you know Abel?
Either way, I cede the questionaire seat to whoever jumps on it 1st

Oops, I was confusing Paget with Capra, the publishers of Fire Station.
From: http://www.richardkostelanetz.com/examples/martin.php
"One reason why he [John Martin] moved from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara was that his printer was there, Macintosh and Young; and this printer remains a keystone in Santa Barbara publishing. Upstairs from it, in the same building on Santa Barbara's State Street, are the offices of Noel Young's Capra Press, which specializes in literary and lifestyle books; Ross Erikson, which does literature and Eastern mysticism; and Mudborn Press, which does poetry, fiction and autobiography."
So I'm still waiting for cirerita's paraphrasing.

Ok, I'll re-warm the chair with a question with an answer I know->:o
According to one poem,
What brand of cigarettes did Buk's father light up?,
Sometimes
"...with a wooden
kitchen match,
then place the match,
still burning,
onto an
ashtray."
Bonus points ;) if you can

OK. This will be an easy one....
What kind of press (manufacturer, etc) was used to print "It Catches My Heart In Its Hands".
Hint: Loujon Press printed it...

I guess I'm disqualifying myself because I'm the guy who sent it to you. And because I don't have any good questions for this crowd.

I'm still upset that no one knew what press the Webbs used to print "it catches"...

Just a guess here, used later on for the Henry Miller book: "...a praying, quivering, shaking 8 X 12 Chandler and Price, 50 or 60 years old..."?

Hi,
that is what mine looks like too! The only difference is that mine has straight spokes on the flywheel, where the oldstyle was curved.
I have a few pictures here is Jon standing at the press with Edwin Blair looking on... I'll try to scan and post in another thread...

"The law is wrong; I am right"
I think I know that one. It was a comic strip although each frame/drawing was made on a seperate piece of paper instead of putting all of them on 1-2 pages. I believe it can be seen on Runfola's site...

The Webb's dragged a couple of different presses from city to city. You should really read Jeff Weddle's Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press.

I'm reading Weddle book right now. Interesting reading for sure. I didn't know that a chap of poems by both Corrington and Bukowski was in the works for a while and was about to be published by a friend of Corrington. Of course, it was dropped, as many other projects from the 60's (the McNamara/Buk book of letters; the Rosenbaum (sp??)/Bukowski book of letters; the Richmond/Bukowski book of letters; the Border Press book of drawings and poems and maybe others I can't recall right now).
as to the question, I give up: that cartoon appeared in Open City.

ok, guys, I know this is a tough one because I think none of you has a copy of the mag where this appears -well, there's one person who has a copy!- but if you take a close look at the pic you'll see it's not the typical Buk drawing at all, and that you should give you a pretty good idea of the date.
