Just browsing thru the local bookstore website and came across this: http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780872866829-0

Thanks. I ordered it from amazon and got it today. I started it but didn't finish it. It is in fact disturbing, but i'm thinking more like Chuck Palahniuk than Hubert Selby.

Newspaper Diapers. Has anyone heard of this book? It it was recommended to me but I can only find it on-line. I live in Portland and Powell's Books doesn't has any info on it? (This makes me want to read it even more!) It was compared to Hubert Selby's "Last Exit To Brooklyn". I do know this...

What the hell???

Are these for sale? Because I've noticed that Powells Books, here in Portland, has an option for a hard cover of Post Office published by Amereon Limited. Says new, but on backorder. I thought this was some kind of glitch. Hmmmm http://www.powells.com/biblio/62-9780848833190-2

Thanks! I've been pretty lucky in my finds: 1st pb women @goodwill for $3; 1st pb post office $10; 1st erections, ejaculations,; $12; deluxe Krumhansl $8 (i actually found two. they were @ powell's way up on a shelf, in the psychology section, not even in the computer.) 1st hb hollywood $11, 1st...

I just got back from the local Powell's Bookstore and bought "Screams from the Balcony" #245/300 with the silkscreen for $19.95 !!! Above the signature they had written (in pencil) "Signature not authentic". Well, I have Aaron Krumhansl's Bibliography and this is the real deal. Score!!!!! My...

so i saw a hardcover of 'what matters most...' at the bookstore and the 'first' page was not colored and it clearly stated second printing but there was the colophon on the 'last' page. was this a mess up?

speeking of rarity...i went to the local bookstore and there was a first edition softcover post office for $10.50. looked like it was bought, read a handful of times then shelfed. I had to post this here because my girlfriend thinks i am crazy, "you already own that book" she reminds me. "ya...

I just picked up a used first edition paperback of this book and when I put it up on the shelf I noticed that it's bigger than my other paperbacks. In fact it's as big as my hardbacks. I have a first paperback of burning and it's not that big. Why and when did they start making them smaller...

ya thats where they get thier name, from the slapshot movie. they all wear big black eye glasses with tape in the middle. except for the bass player he wears a jason style hockey mask with DUMB written across the top, and they act like dorky guys. i think that they started it as a joke and it...

Nomeansno, oh ya! They also do a side project called the hanson brothers. Sounds pretty much like the ramones but if the ramones liked hockey. And if you like nomeansno check out the minutemen. Very similar.

A few years ago this young girl showed up at his house and wanted to show off her new tatoo. He knew her but I'd never seen her before. Anyway she shows us this tatoo and says "look I got a tatoo of Jim morrison on my calf." she showed us her tat and the first thing my friend says is where did...

ya that sounds cool. you know i look in every goodwill i come across, and believe me thats many. at first i'd never find anything. but i'd always look. i'd find other authors like carver, abbey, murakami, but never bukowski. the first goodwill buk book i found was a 16th printing of burning. i...
