About this Item

North Hollywood, Calif.: Essex House, (1969). 255pp. 6� x 4� inches. Paperback Original. Minor rubbing; near fine. In a custom archival enclosure. First edition and inscribed by Bukowski in the year of publication to his close friend and early publisher: "For Douglas Blazek Beer stories for your insomnia nights. In memory too of the Bensenville days when we found each other. Sure, Charles Bukowski 2-24-69." Bensenville, Illinois is where Blazek s Mimeo Press was located. With two original drawings by Bukowski, one inside the front cover, signed Buk and dated 1969, and the other drawn around his inscription to Blazek, showing a man (perhaps Bukowski) giving the middle finger. Blazek was an "ardent follower and tirelessly championed Bukowski s work, publishing him in all Ol� issues. the mimeograph magazine where most emerging editors from that period read Bukowski s poetry and prose for the first time. He was also instrumental in persuading Bukowski to produce fiction in larger quantities." (Debritto, Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground). Seller Inventory # 3732655
