chronic
old and in the way
I've received a couple of emails through collectingbukowski.com from a woman who dug out a couple of boxes containing her late husband's Bukowski collection. From what she's told me so far, he seems to have had a pretty good collection that's been packed-up for the five years since he died. So far I know that she has at least a couple of hand-corrected manuscripts from 1974, a nice copy of Crucifix in a Deathhand, several New Years Greetings (some signed hardcovers), chapbooks from the '60s and '70s (I'm waiting to hear some titles), "A play (signed) property of Rome, Italy - no date" which I'm guessing may be an early manuscript of Barfly, and "several manilla envelopes with signed pieces."
She asked me to advise her on how to best sell them but I'm waiting on photos and a more complete idea of what she has. I'm really excited for her and, to be honest, getting a bit of a vicarious thrill from her emails.
Just thought I'd pass this on. I'll post when I have a better idea of just what she has.
