Description: Number 44 of 305 copies signed on the limitation page. Very nearly Fine in nearly Fine publisher's acetate. Bound in mustard boards with black and white piano imagery and textured red fabric backstrip maintaining brown paper title to spine. Publisher's acetate with expected scuffing. Spot of discoloration to bottom closed text block and dutiness to the top-edge, very slight toning at gutter from glue on the blue pastedowns and fly leaves; rest of the interior appears clean and unread. Even the title of this collection, featuring Bukowski's poetry from the 1970s, reads like one of his lyricsâ"poignant, graphic, drunken, visceral, and clever. An entertaining offering in the poet's established authorial voice. A great example of a Black Sparrow Press bookâ"run by John Martin the avant-garde press was responsible for supporting and publishing Bukowski's work throughout his prolific career. Krumhansl 68.
