Only $30? That's the price of a CD over here, so maybe my theory still holds up after all...
In 1960 a coke was 5 or 10 cents now $1.00 to $1.89 at least 10 times as much. So a $7.00 book would be $70 to $100. or so. I think Bukowski was having a tough time with the texture and was trying to be neat. Hence, your book is priceless, worth maybe $20,000,000. or so.
Whadda I know? $70-$100. Sure, certainly possible.
LTS, you have a very beautiful book, signed by Buk with an uncertain page.
Enjoy the words, and the fact that it is indeed signed by Buk. That's how I'd look at it. I hope I didn't portray otherwise.
