Published by Black Sparrow Press

About this Item

Produced in May 1970, Another Academy was published for the friends of the Black Sparrow Press in an edition of 250 copies. This copy is not numbered and is signed and inscribed by Bukowski to Bob Rissman with a drawing of three Little Men: FOR BOB RISSMAN WE RE BOTH WORKING FOR THE SAME GUY, WE RE LUCKY BUT LET S NOT MAKE HIM MAD. Charles Bukowski I didn t have much luck in trying to research Bob Rissman. The only reference I found was in the University of Arizona Black Sparrow Press archives, which mentions him in connection to John Rissman and a possible publication of four of John s poems. In my opinion, Another Academy is one of the most beautiful pieces Barbara Martin and Black Sparrow Press produced for Bukowski. The broadside itself measures approximately 10 x 6 folded twice and tipped inside a mustard color booklet folded in two to make a 5¼ x 3½ pamphlet. It has a gray woodcut paper cover label of an Oscar trophy mounted to the front. This copy is in Fine condition. Case 3.
