After months of cataloging, The Buk Shop officially opens Friday April 5. 2024.
As the name implies, The Buk Shop is solely focused on Charles Bukowski, featuring signed books, manuscripts, broadsides, chapbooks, drawings and paintings, films, readings, and magazines.
I’m not exaggerating in any way when I say that I could not have written the descriptions nearly as well if it were not for the database. The forum too, but especially the database. So, a huge thanks to Hannah for building and maintaining it all these years.
As you can see, David Barker allowed me to use his linoleum woodcut for the letterpress announcement, so a big thank you to him. I also had some lapel pins made up, so send me a message with your address if you’d like one.
I put a lot of work into the descriptions, so hopefully folks here will find them useful. There are also multiple photos of each item. Longtime members can use them as they see fit, but please don’t abuse the photographs on social media – I’m selling them, but someone else owns the rights.
Once I have a minute to take a breath, I’ll add a news section (ex. Abel’s new book) and a blog with interviews with various people on collecting Bukowski (David Barker will be first). Although the shop is focused solely on Bukowski, I would also like to support the small press in some way. Nothing I do will replicate anything the forum is already doing.
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to the forum and database over the years!
