Nowhere close to a "very good" copy. Good at best (with all faults described).

A truly Holy Shit item, wow. Where'd you see that? I guess anything inscribed to his parents would also blow the doors off of Scarlet's Scarlet.

James Musser James is truly a Great Man. He is kind and sincere, and his prices are reasonable without fail.

How can you call my recent posts defensive? I was merely suggesting that you might regret personally and in you heart of intelligent hearts feel silly underestimating gh's motives, style and skill. Nick and Ross are (admittedly, not close) friends, but their battles were personal and damaging...

I am not a bookseller. I am a Bukowski fan who has greatly enjoyed diving deep into the Bukowski diaspora. Why does everyone on this wonderful board insist on rushing to judgment on everyone? I have lived an extremely varied lifestyle - rags, riches, drugs, abstinence, stability, insanity...

Fuck you, Spankee. That said: Perhaps you take "Wow - it's Dermaface vs Stnickl all over again" to be a sign of respect. I do not. BTW, I was only trying to save you gossipy girls from yourselves (because I respect you and believe I know how you'd feel if you met gh - my gesture...

She has two copies of Scarlet inscribed to her by Hank - not copies purchased later and signed by her. She has sold neither to my knowledge and has told me that she has no intention of doing so. I offered her $6500 almost ten years ago when that was a record sum for a Bukowski book by a...

What Is Wrong With You Guys? If this is actually Pam's copy (I, too, would suspect so but for having visited Pam seeking to buy her copy of Scarlet and not seeing this book amongf her trove), CONDITION IS FUCKING MEANINGLESS!!!!!!! To the extent the mess is hers or his, it might even add...

All I can say is that you guys are absolutely off the mark re ghecksher. I can only suggest that you refrain from further discussion about him, as you will never get it right. I sincerely believe that you disrespect him at the cost of losing respect for yourselves should he ever make himself...

Genius of the Crowd Was paid for in $ and will remain in the good old USA. Comparisons between Genius and NQB strike me as the height of silliness - pitting a beautifully produced artifact of its time against a manufactured artist book forcing another dubious marriage of artist and poet...

Have you ever, ever, ever in your bald-headed life seen a holograph Bukowski poem (not an aphorism)?

I paid $8500 for it (all of the current listings on eBay are at or below my cost). Clearly, I think it's worth more, but I need the $. A lesser copy listed on ABE for $8500 sold in a day or two recently. Prior to that, I have not seen another copy offered for several years - before the recent...

It is the same copy James Musser, of Skyline, one of the true greats (great material, great prices, great guy), bought this item from the other dealer and listed it before the seller removed his listing.

James Musser of Skyline Books In Forrest Knolls, CA, is not only the greatest Buk dealer, with the fairest prices on the best material, but he is simply one of the greatest, most genuine people you'll ever have the good fortune to encounter.

I once again need to sell some of my nicer Buk material (Genius of the Crowd, the first 5 BSP broadsides, Post Office with painting, other books with art, etc.). Serious inquiries will learn what I paid and we can go from there. FYI, my prices are generally marked-up between 50-100% of my...
