my name is brad i'm new. i just saw born into this and was fascinated with the open city segment. saw ads about love forever changes, the doors, and of course notes of a dirty old man. just would like to get a feel of what underground l.a. was like in the 60's

Maybe try contacting Scott Harrison at Abandoned Planet in San Francisco. He knows the publisher, John Bryan and probably has some issues for sale.

[HenryChinaski]

yeah i'd like to see a couple of those too

 

[darbyb]

Is that the same one John Bryan edited? By the way, I've got some terrific pics of Hank for sale.

It really rocked!

Darby,

I'm very interested in the pics as I'm sure many others are. This is not Brad Darby from LA is it?

Searched for this thread. It would be very interesting to see something of these open-city-magazines. Is there a possibility for you to upload some pictures, Bill?

Do they ever pop up on ebay? Never seen one. Which seems strange. Through the column-reading etc. you get the feeling that they had quite a circulation.

There are about 10 copies for sale on abebooks.com all priced +/- $40 all from long-time Bukowski dealer Michael Sherick. Not too bad for something that does not turn up all that frequently.

Thanks for the tip, nymark.

Are you Brad Darby (who did the photos for the second printing of 8 Story Window)?

I think Waterrow auctioned quite a few Open City issues recently...

HI mjp,
I asked this question on this post a month ago, and never heard back...

Bill

 

[mjp]

Oh - Brad is Blaine? It's all a mystery to me.

Scott at Abandoned Planet has just listed a shitload of these on ebay:

[HenryChinaski]

Whoa

 

[Johannes]

This was great, because you could read certain columns which didn't make it into the collection. Like the first with the review of Hemingway. Thanks a lot chronic.

Unfortunately it's all gone now.

Hi,
For those interested, Scott at Abandoned Planet just listed about 10 of these newspapers. Probably from John Bryans stock....

$12 a piece is not bad...

Bill
