Yes, The Continual Condition was a bit of a disappointment. It was expensive for such a thin book, and the fact that over 20% of the poems had been printed before in earlier poem collections did'nt make it any better.

Well, that's because the Continual Condition poems were not part of the archive that Bukowski set aside to be published after his death.

I just got a copy as a gift yesterday. I need to get back to reading and reading this forum again. This might make me normal again-or at least close to normal.

welcome back, Mr. Love.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Indeed. You apparently need some Buk therapy.

... reading this forum again ... might make me normal ...

You seem to have already gotten your sense of humor back! :cool:

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Yes, this collection is nice.

I'm selling the Continual Condition ARC, which has a different cover than the final published book.

In fact I just cleared a bunch of stuff off the shelves here to unload on an unsuspecting public. Maybe not much of interest to hard core freaks and binding sniffers, but a goody here and there. I'll put a list up here soon, give it about a week then put all the stuff on eBay.

None of the hardcovers have bullet holes in them.
