well an exgirl friend gave me BIT the documentary while we were trying to "fixed things out", and it's kinda funny cause she asked if I could lend it to her, and I said -sure!- but I never did. :P

mjp;
On your copy of "2 by bukowski", is the cover the color of the cover of Factotum? It looks like it is olive from the photos here, but on collectingbukowski.com it looks more orangy.
Thanks!

Not to speak for mjp, Bill, but here's what mjp posted back several months ago, and it looks just like every other copy I've seen. I should say every picture of every copy I've seen; having never held one in my hand.
I'd describe the color as an Earthy mustard.
Christ, I should work for J Crew inventing colors for their X-Mas catalogues.
Has cooter re-listed his copy at $525?

It is definitely brown. A little darker than the image here, but not olive tinged like Factotum. It's closer to Women than Factotum, but not as dark as Women.

Thanks to mjp and PSP. I may have this one figured out! It often looks canary, but that is probably the unreliability of colors on the computer.

Mine smells like Werther's Original candy with a hint of Aqua Velva.

old and in the way
Since I don't have a copy of this I can't sniff it either.

o. wait. I don't have a copy of this one. that's just my feet.

I don't smell them, but on the back there is a tiny line of text that says: PRODUCT MAY CONTAIN PEANUTS.
I'm touched.
Right now I'm smiling and looking foward in very optimistic way.
Thanks!

Yeah, plus James really outdid us. We were all proud of our (somewhat) rare books and then he drops some of Bukowski's clothes on us!
Now THAT is rare.
Notice how no one has tried to one-up him. I'm not sure that it is really possible, until someone comes up with one of Bukowski's teeth, I think that we know who won this round....

No, I could never change just part of it. I have decided to call my new press:
BUMWAD
Actually, I'll leave that name for anyone else that may want it.
The first person that asks gets the rights to the name.

One might think that "bumwad" could have a somewhat different meaning. And since we are talking about best gifts ever, I would take this opportunity to remind all of you that it is far, far better to give than it is to receive.

I'm actually curious to know... what does the shirt smell like? Haha. I'm being serious. Within that package was a phenominal gift from Linda. An atheist says bless you, and she. :)
Best Buk gift I ever got? Two stick out.
One, from hubby, A New Year's Greeting From Black Sparrow Press, 1989 (or 85? It's upstairs and I don't feel like going to look). Plastic sleeve, like new. Gorgeous.
One recently, from John Martin ;) (no, not that one). A New Year's Greeting From Black Sparrow Press, 1995 - Confessions of a Coward. Beautiful copy. He also got me a cool Buk postcard & New Years card... which the Barfly reference on the inside tickles me... "A Happy New Year... To All My Friends." I'll take pictures of John's gift when I can get more batteries for my Kodak that so closely resembles Hitler in demeanour.
Hello,
Im BUMWAD.
I'm new to the forum.
Also,
My favorite book smells like pine needles and curry.
Can any of you help me with my homework? I just need you to write a paper for me. It is due tomorrow.
Also, can you give me Linda Lee's address? I want to set Chuck's words to Electronica.
Best,
BUMWAD
p.s. Can I post links to myspace where you can all here my Rhode Island gangsta Rap?

Hey good job. You qualify as the bad example of how to enter Bukowski.net.;)
I bet your middle name is Jerome or something like that.
