you can find them on ebay from time to time. I may have an extra one around here somewhere. Was that the Groff auction?
Not sure if there is a pdf but you can see the Groff sale items here:-

$14.95 is a fair price for that catalog...

There was also a large Beat & Bukowski PBA auction before Groff. That was the collection of Edwin Blair and it was AMAZING! There was also a catalog after the Groff that had a drawing of Ginsberg on the cover.

Though we do not have PDF versions of the catalogue for the Groff sale I can provide you with a text only word document if that would be useful.
Thank you for the clarification. The catalogue is currently being printed but should be available early next week at which point we will be sending out hard copies. Some names and addresses have been provided by member bospress.net. You can email me your details at shannon@pbagalleries.com and I'll gladly send along once available.
They reassigned Lot #'s after the initial posting of the auction items, so maybe that's why you couldn't find it, roni.

No sign of a catalog yet.

I sent them your name with the same list that included mine, so they should have mailed them at the same time...

Yep, mine came as well. With my favorite print on the cover to boot.
Looks like we might have more info for the Timeline. Check out the letter to Stevenson from "mothers day 1982" on PBA where Buk says he lived on Carondelet in New Orleans and "got a job as an errand boy on the N.O. Item. For less pay than a roach..." He mentions working for the Item also at the end of Longshot Pomes I believe. So we could add this job to the timeline? Early Forties?

Yeah, I saw that when I was adding that letter to the site. The Item office was at the corner of Carondelet and Union streets, so that could be a story based in fact, but it's odd that it's mentioned only in a letter. Never in a poem or story - or anywhere else - that I know of.
I am hesitant to add things like that to the timeline without some other kind of verification or corroboration. I wouldn't know where to put it even if I did want to add it, since we don't know exactly when he was in New Orleans.
Most of the items in the timeline are based on more than Bukowski saying that something was so. Because he said a lot of things that were not exactly rooted in the truth. As the kids say.
