Now... maybe I just don't understand how rare items work (in fact, I'm fairly sure I don't have, in the least, any idea how the rare book world works), but... $95 seems awfully high for an unsigned item that Bukowski never even touched in his lifetime...

Is this a common sort of price? I know Powells has had several at that price. I myself don't see the collectibility in these items, but perhaps some of you who have been collecting items longer can shed some light on this whole deal.
Oh and I popped in yesterday and flipped through the Dear Mr Bukowski they have in the Rare Book Room and it IS beautiful. But I don't know about $375... TOo far out of my range anyhow.
