So the students do one-off, unpublished editions as design exercises?

Are these for sale? Because I've noticed that Powells Books, here in Portland, has an option for a hard cover of Post Office published by Amereon Limited. Says new, but on backorder. I thought this was some kind of glitch. Hmmmm

Seems unlikely.

"Amereon Limited is a publisher of children's books and young adult books"

Well to be fair, Buk is the hero of the adolescent, masturbatory male, right? :rolleyes:

wait, what is WTF about that? the books are student projects in a design class. is that bad for some reason?

i think the 'post office' design is a little too clean and modern for the tone of bukowski's book, but i prefer it to ecco's redesign.

Came to see if this had been posted about already. Kinda? Anyway, you can get yourself a copy now.

That listing makes no sense... Has to be a mistake. If Ecco sold the rights to what is most likely the best selling Buk title, then they are insane.

Has anyone figured out what is going on with this?

Did you see the price too? $57.65! forget that! Unless Buk signed it, or mjp.
