RIP
I know it`s a tough question but does anybody know how many books were
sold worldwide ?
In the German-speaking part ( including Germany, Austria and Switzerland)
he sold estimated 4 - 5 million pieces.
I found one example as a proof for this high number in my book shelf - it is
the german translation of Notes... dated Dec. 1982 and the editon says it is from 156 - 163 thousand.
But nobody except for Carl Weissner will know it for sure.
Bukowski was temporarity on the market from seven german publishers.
Any ideas from the US and other markets ?
