Only $300 for that really awful forgery.

"Thans to you."

Would someone deliberately make such a strange forgery?
Who'd chose to mess with the "B" in "Buk" in such a way?
Could it possibly been made by a very fucked-up Bukowski? Some of the letters appear to look absolutely okay

It may have been done by someone fucked-up, but it wasn't Bukowski.

Could it possibly been made by a very fucked-up Bukowski?

First of all, no. I don't see the letters that appear to look right to you. I don't see a single thing in there that looks right.

Secondly, why would Bukowski be inscribing a 14th printing of The days run away (click the link for the large image) to someone who we're supposed to believe was important to his work as a writer ("thans to you")?

This is some amateur hour shit.

Maybe fourteen was his lucky number?
