Insects possess...six legs (one pair per segment) and wings (if present in the species). The abdomen, originally made up of eleven segments, has excretory and reproductive structures.
Spiders...have eight legs and no wings. More precisely, a spider is any member of the arachnida order.
Buk is such a joker (and he creates new species).

Hello all
This is really why I registered...
I started reading Bukowski 18 years ago...same old story...read 4 poems in a collection... bought a book (my first was "Dangling")...then bought every book I could get my hands on.
Within a few months I owned all the commonly available titles.
Then one day I bought "Hollywood" in hardback and realized I had bought a first edition. I started to pay attention to the limitations and quickly became obsessed with the idea of owning limited edition copies.
Now I have dozens of first (and only) editions 4 or 5 presentation copies and around a dozen or so lettered copies.
I would love to know about the 'pride and joy' of your collections.
What is the killer book(s) in your collection?
A few of mine:
At Terror Street and Agony Way (with 'Sreet' for 'Street') - 1 of 18.
Letter S of Heat Wave - 1 of 26
As new copies of 'Crucifix', 'It Catches My Heart...' and 'Cold Dogs...'
'You Kissed Lilly' hand coloured where Bukowski has added "You Is Ill" inside the titles open font (1 of 1?).
I owned 'Not Quite Bernadette' Special edition for a while but sold it.:(
I don't want this to become a pissing contest - I'm genuinly interested in the other collections out there.
Thanks guys.

I'm sure there's another thread where members have taken pics of their collections.
my collection is big, but nothing that rare. A couple #'d firsts and a signed piece mixed in. The day I got the signed piece was a exciting day, tho.

Well that's a dumb title. Guys sounds full of himself.
So far, I have these books.
Well, small collection I know, but everyone has to start somewhere and bukowski.net usually has some regular goodies posted to quench my Buk fix.
When I have a more stable financial situation, I'll start working on bulking it up.
NOTE: I also have the 14th edition of "Bring me Your Love" with Crumb art.

I've listed all of my Bukowski items in the order that I obtained them so that you could see the progress of my growing collection. Bukowski is special amongest all of the writers whose books I've bought because I haven't bought seven books/CDs from any artist or writer in a one-year span in the way that I've been gobbling up Bukowski material. The dates when I acquired these items range from the first book thirteen months ago to the last three items which were all purchased this week within two days.

I keep thinking about posting mine and keep forgetting to list everything I've got... Outside of my copies of Crucifix and Terror Street, I don't have much else impressive...
My Fante collection is also lacking. Nothing signed yet, but I do own a copy of the mass market published Ask the Dust and a nice true first of Brotherhood of the Grape... Oh and a copy of The American Mercury where his first short story was published... got that one for $10 a year or so back from someone who clearly didn't know the value. Awesome.
