Sad Flower in the Sand
For Sale! For various reasons, I'm trying to raise money and also pare down my collection of books. I'll get photos\scans if people are desperately curious. I've tried to describe any issues that would boil my piss if I bought it and it wasn't mentioned, but I understand if anyone would like to see a picture first...
1. At Terror Street and Agony Way (Black Sparrow Press, 1968) First edition, second state $250
The front and back covers are both a bit frayed around the edges and the front cover has a few small scuff marks near the top. Some pencil notations as well as a previous owner's name in pen decorate the first page, but otherwise the book is unmarked and the guts are in fine condition.
2. As Buddha Smiles (Bottle of Smoke Press, 2003) $60
All broadsides are in Fine condition, as is the belly band, and the plastic housing keeping it all safe and happy. 73/100 of the standard edition (and currently viewable at collectingbukowski.com)
3. Bukowski At Bellvue (VHS, Black Sparrow Press) $15
Black case is in tact, with no cracks\chips, etc. VHS was still in working\playable order about a year and a half ago when I still had a VCR.
4. Fante\Mencken A Personal Correspondence (Black Sparrow Press, 1989) 1/750 hardcover trade copies. $70
Here's a Fante item that I recently replaced in paperback and so no longer need the hardcover. The mylar jacket is in tact and has protected the book admirably, but there are a couple small rubbing points on the bottom of the front cover and a couple small places where the cover has been nicked right where the boards meet the cloth. The mylar jacket is also slightly smaller than the actual book, so the four open corners show minor bumping.
