| Description: |
| Chapbook. 8vo. Original pictorial saddle stitched white paper wrappers, front cover printed in black and red. First Edition. One of only 200 copies published, in November 1960 by E.V. Griffith. |
| Bukowski’s rare first book. Presumably, Jon Webb's copy (publisher of Loujon Press), beautifully inscribed and signed by Bukowski with poetry and a flower (in vase) drawing on the front inside cover and title page: “Friend, Friend, Friend, my first book, my first book, my first book” and then flower drawing. And on title: “and the Love gone and the Love remaining now – 9-18-63 Charles Bukowski.” Signed only three years after publication. Jon Webb's name not mentioned in the inscription, but this copy was offered in Water Row Books (of Sudbury, MA) catalogue #42, entry 138, and provides the fact that Jon Webb (of Loujon Press) was the original owner. From the Edwin Blair Collection. Dorbin A1; Krumhansl 3. |
| Condition: |
