Good deal or not? LOL

Not to mention a really cool Wings article.

that's worth a look! what's the article like, good?

 

[Rekrab]

I haven't seen that issue in 30 years, but if I remember correctly, my old pal Leo Mailman was interviewed and quoted for that article on Buk. Leo was a poet and small press publisher in Long Beach, CA in the 1970s. He published some of Bukowski's poems in one of his little magazines. I recall it as being a good article. Leo passed away in 1990 or 1991.

that one is also included in Sunlight Here I Am. Nice, long interview...

 

[the only good poet]

next you'll tell me the arena interview is also in sunlight...oh, brother!

ha...

 

[cirerita]

Sunlight is just a good book to get all those hard-to-find interviews...

i was surprised it didnt go higher. I put a max bid of seven bucks thinking...I'm wasting my time.

 

[Bukfan]

Congratulations! - I think you got it cheap...

5 bucks is a good deal.
I picked up another copy yesterday at a used bookstore, $3.99! (and that's Canadian!!!). Some of the old bookshops are good spots for USED magazines, etc... I got a few of the old nudie mags KNIGHT (all with BUK included, for under 5 bucks a pop), plus a couple BUK/Hustlers, much cheaper than you'll ever find on eBay.

 

[HenryChinaski]

actually it came to like 12 bucks with shipping. still a good deal. is there any way I can make srue this last a long time? it looks kinda rough.

 

[theeffects]

Good question, I've got a few buk/rolling stone issues, plus other 'newspaper' items that are already browning, etc... Once the browning starts is it 'done'?

 

[mjp]

The browning is caused by acids that are more common in cheaper "pulp" paper manufacturing. The cheaper the paper, the more wood byproducts are used, and that makes it brown more quickly.

Best way to preserve that kind of paper is with Magnesium Oxide that neutralizes the acids that turn the paper brown. Check out this stuff:

Not cheap, but it's the real deal.
