Signing of It Catches My Heart In It's Hand (1 Viewer)

[Pogue Mahone]

Does anyone have some background on the process of Bukowski signing "It Catches My Heart In Its Hands?"

There are some signatures before Buk first sees the book on Nov. 23 1963. And then, as time goes by, there are so many one-off dates. Why didn't LouJon have him do a bunch of signatures all at wonse? Like "Cusifix In A Death Hand"?

Curious minds want to know....

Great question. I may suspect there must have been various delays in releasing those books (hence the different versions) and presenting them and at once for Buk to sign?

It just appears that LouJon sent entire books to him to sign. Really a weird, inefficient way to do it. Maybe they learned their lesson and changed it up with Crucifix.
