It is unusual. My guess is that he created a few potential covers. I got it with some interesting copies of OLE 1 that have art by Blazek on the inside rear cover. I also have figured out that there was no color printing of OLE 1. Any color you see on a copy is hand-colored, like the third pic...

Thanks for that. T

They'll keep you busy for a while, don't worry.

Thank you. It's just fun to look at it. I've always loved looking at the early periodicals on the Verdant Press site: https://verdantpress.com/checklist/charles-bukowski/contributions-to-periodicals/

One of the moderators should post this somewhere for permanent reference. No more shitty video or sound. KCET published their original version and it's as crisp as it gets:

Great piece, as usual. I can't wait to read your new book!

Thanks for everything, you crazy kid...

I saw Barfly at a friend's place at age 22 and bought "The Most Beautiful Woman in Town" the next morning. The elderly female proprietor said, "What a beautiful title." Little did we both know...

Welcome. I love the graphic design and craftsmanship that the Japanese publisher has done with Bukowski in recent years. A friend sent me Pulp and it's really cool.

I just obtained this one. I'm going to pair it with a copy of The Cruelty of Loveless Love because it appears to be (quite obviously) about Joan Gannij. Not that it needs confirming from the references, but Gannij also put a book of poems out in 1982.

Earth 2: God I Got The Sad Blue Blues and I Am Read To remain uncollected. It measures a ridiculous 14" x 8.5" for it's time...
