There is indeed, and it is only one of the many things about book collecting/selling/buying that has always mystified me.
Though I understand and appreciate "association" signatures, and understand why they are valuable. But to me, I don't get the appeal of a signed colophon or whatever. I just think of him sitting at his desk with a giant stack of paper in front of him signing away and frankly it kind of depresses me.
But then I have pretty bad cold/flu right now, so I may just be hallucinating.

I received an e-mail saying the Carlton Way building is in danger of being destroyed as well...I don't know if that's true or not; I haven't been by in awhile. It wouldn't surprise me, as that part of Hollywood is "coming up", in the parlance of the yuppie locals.
A TRUE fanatic would move into the apartment building on Mariposa.It still retains some of its former seedy working-class glory: last I saw there was a nice big banner advertising vacancies, and the place seemed to be fairly teeming with Salvadoran refugees, young Mexican families, and chain-smoking Russians. Jumbo's Clown Room is nearby. And I'll bet the rooms are cheap(for Hollywood).

Those neighbors would be fun to live around. Nothing worse than pretentious people. Give me the REAL people anyday....

Just read this short article in the San Francisco Chronicle
Datebook Section E page E8
Backing Bukowski
LOS ANGELES- The owner of a Los Angeles bungalow court that was once home to poet Charles Bukowski has been stopped from doing unpermitted work on the historically protected buildings.
The City Council voted in February to give landmark status to the east Hollywood bungalow court, where Bukowski lived from 1963 to 1972. The designation requires the owner to get special approval to make alterations.
:):)
Wish we were all a monied lot and could pitch in and buy it from the fucker...
Now that would be cool.
