    Better than Buk

    Good move. He's also got one called God Bless America about his childhood that I'd recommend. I imagine that's on UK Amazon too, since Murder Slim (the press that publishes him) is based in Norfolk. The structure of his novels is very similar to Bukowski's, all being very autobiographical and...

    Better than Buk

    I've experienced this quite a few times - to the point where I'll just say fuck it and not bother reading any new authors for months. I've only found one author that really has the same flavor to him, and that'd be Mark SaFranko. SaFranko does mostly confessional stuff, and it's all rather...

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    Oh, well fuck, now that you've exposed it for what it is, and since you're willing to pay partial shipping for my hardships, I guess you've got a deal. And if you grab that, I'll throw this in too, it's fucked anyway - I don't think it has much market value. Yeah, I understand, thanks for the...

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    Yeah, I'm feeling pretty god damned fortunate right about now. I'd never seen anything exactly in this vein - personal inscriptions that is - so I wasn't really sure what I should have expected to pay. I'm glad I managed to come by a good deal for it, especially since the money required me...

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    Yeah, I was wondering if it'd be up in that range. I certainly don't intend on selling it - this is my first real collectors piece besides some old issues of Open City that I've got framed on my walls - I was just curious how I made out. Seems I did pretty damn good on buying it. I mean, I...

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    Ah, right, I meant to mention that. It's a softcover. All things considered though, it's in good shape, everything is tight and there's only a few scuffs on the cover. Sort of strange, because the old Black Sparrow books always just seem to attract shit to them, at least in my experiences.

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    All right, perfect - that's exactly what I was hoping to hear. And I agree, this thing was a nice surprise for being a shot in the dark. I didn't even know it'd be a first edition. The posting was honestly fucking barren besides it saying that it was signed in the description. Also, if you've...

    Ham On Rye Signed and Inscribed - Real?

    Hey, I was wondering if someone could verify if this signature and inscription are real. From what I can tell, and I don't know fucking anything besides the hours I've put into casually browsing the manuscripts section here, it seems to be real. I just figured it would ease my mind a bit to...

    Bukowski by Taylor Hackford - documentary download

    I know, I know. I'm not really asking for a pristine copy or anything of that sort, I just know that this one had been edited from the youtube videos so that it was a little more watchable. Plus, it's all one file, which is infinitely more convenient. I can burn it to a disc, kick back and have...

    Bukowski by Taylor Hackford - documentary download

    Does anyone still have a copy of this that they'd be willing to upload? I've been scouring the internet for a while and it seems these are the only links, both of which are dead. I'd just like to be able to watch it in something better than the readily available youtube quality.
