I can't recommend a specific publisher, but if your local library has a copy of the Novel & Short Story Writer's Market, and/or the most recent Writer's Market, you'll find plenty of publishers in there.

I checked abebooks.com, and there's a used copy for sale there for $5.55. Shipping is $3.99 if you're in the US.

Somebody posted a video of not long ago. That's not the one you're talking about, is it? I don't really know what to make of it... Therapist: Sit down, you are out of the frame. Buk: The grave does not have a frame.

Yeah, is it prose or verse baby?

Messy Translation, Part 3 of 3 (see above for Roni's comments on the content - journalism is like a sausage - better not to see how it's made) Rumour has it that the 35 year old Bukowski still stopped for a drink after being treated for a nearly fatal bleeding ulcer, to cope with the shock...

Shit, I remember when Uncle Vince used to do the traffic reports for CFNY, I mean, 102.1. Any other Toronto Bukowski freakazoids remember him talking about congestion on the "Humber hump", followed by the trademark "ta ta ta tah"... mmm.... probably not.
