‎Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press 1968. First Edition. Octavo. #6 of 75 copies signed and numbered and with an inscription on flyleaf: "For Lee Rolland wife of Richard Roland co-owners of Either/Or Books Shop Hermosa Beach direct from Terror Street Charles Bukowski 5-7-68". This copy is in a mixed state: While it does contain the original tipped in painting by Bukowski a double tan paper spine label printed lengthwise in red and the colophon has Bukowski's name above the colophon and with the number 6 in red below the colophon it also contains the Zinc cuts used for the blind stampings of an excerpt of a Bukowski letter "l.a. Sunday August 20 hello Mike…." excerpted from a letter to Michael Forrest. The excerpts read from tail to head on the verso of the third leaf recto of the title page and the recto of the last leaf. Zinc cuts were also used for blind stampings of illustrations by Bukowski located on the sixth leaf verso of the half-title and the leaves between pp. 42-43 and pp. 66-67 and the last page. Verso of the title page printed is a 13 line introduction by the author. Hardbound in multicolored blue red violet green and yellow cloth. What makes this one of the most important of Bukowski's books is found in his printed letters Screams from the Balcony pp. 327-330 Bukowski to John Martin publisher of Black Sparrow May 20 1968 "Your beautiful check and the 20 copies of Terror Street.check $460 from his letter on June 4 1968 to Jon and Louise Webb was more than I expected. In a previous letter to Carl Weisner early May 1968 he writes: "I have been doing paintings in the kitchen….this bird Martin wants 75 small paintings which will be mounted in the back of the special hardcover copies of Terror Street. I've made about 60 paintings up to now and he wants 20 more and he says he can pick them up Monday. I've done 6 these editors just don't realize that paintings can't just be made up….each painting must come from the balls like a f.k few men can f.k six times a night 20 i.e. paintings is just impossible. To make it an especially nice copy the Either/Or Book Store was frequented by Bukowski Pynchon and a host of people who loved small press poetry and counterculture books. A fine and desirable association copy. Krumhandsl #27. Black Sparrow Press unknown‎

‎It Catches My Heart in My Hands Last Copy of Jon Edgar Webb with Two Page Letter of Buk Bound in Several Signed pages of Buk‎

‎New Orleans; October 1963: Loujon Press. First Edition. Small Quarto. 4 97 4 errata p.97. Gypsy Lou Series N. 1. After his early poems were published in the "Little Magazines" this was his first important collection to be published. It was printed by the Webbs in 1963 in their Loujon Press. They had already published "The Outsider" and had named Charles Bukowski: Outsider of the Year 1962. Here was their first publication and in the view of many who love fine printing their finest item which was dedicated to their friend Charles Bukowski who many critics called "the poet of Skid row or of the gutter." What is unique about this volume is that John Edgar Webb has written inside the rear flap that " Third last mint copy /in stock-and oh how we/hate to part with thee/ signed Jon Edgar Webb/3/24/67" . Jon Webb wanted Buk to have some signed copies so he sent him a sliver deco-write pen giving him instructions to sign pages to be bound into volumes here there are two pages see Soanes p. 62-63 and the pastedown photograph of Bukowski above their lament with a slit across it. There is a remarkable two page letter with stamped envelope from Bukowski typewritten not a facsimile on June 14 1964 to the Webbs in sixty-two lines with his colored sketches along the borders also included is the original mailing envelope also decorated by Bukowski. Note: Bukowski had written the Webbs on May 1 about his move to a new location giving the address but it is possible they had not received it because of their recent move from Santa Fe to New Orleans Screams from the Balcony p. 107. This letter also repeats his new address of 5124 De Longpre Ave Los Angeles see Soanes p. 85ff. and then notes: "the typewriter's first sounds in these walls and a place doesn't become real until you've got the typer going eaten bathed slept and made love there--until then you haven't moved in." He then notes that Francis FrancEyE his girlfriend; Sounes says her name was Francis Elizabeth Dean who became pregnant. He offered to marry her but she was content just to bear their child Marina Louise Bukowski whose own poems were published in Chat Nois Review "is at church while I drive the old ghosts of this place out of its walls." He mentions the old location where he got into trouble with landlord cf. Sounes p. 53-55 noting the kitchen table is looking out at Hollywood Blvd. the poor part. describes a situation he recently got in at Mahawk's there he went through a plate glass window then notes also he has no shotgun like Hemingway or Van Gogh and "maybe no guts". He notes in the move he came across a copy of the Northwest Review with an article by Corrington on CHARLES BUKOWKI AND THE POETRY OF FLAT SURFACES. "If you haven't seen this one let me know and I will ship". Editor lost his job on this issue he surmises because of an interview with Castro. "Some very good poems in there by Whalen.and some interesting crap by and on Artaud. It was such an unusual edition for a university sponsored mag that I remember thinking then well the editor doesn't have much longer to go.Frances just came back from church I believe they had a reading notes participants Ray Bradbury Bard Dahl implies they had his disdain. Apparently they don't like "little magazines."I need another beer am smoking a rotten cigar the only one in the place which sometimes I shread in my mouth but I feel the tobacco need." We live next door to a religious maniac--but I'd better save that for a poem.The bookcase is us big belly of little magazines bathtub drips this place is a thousand years old but down on the ground floor.my god this is the first time I've lived on the ground--except for park benches and jails--in twenty-five years I sit here looking out on the street wishing I had a good cigar. Francis inserts ideas in the paragraph he refers to her as S.S. pen name she used as author of poem referred to earlier her paragraph mentions Hank's sunlamp he resumes after that paragraph-- wish she hadn't told you I've got a god damned sunlamp. I also have a set of barbells. I'm trying to look like Hemingway in his better days trouble is I haven't used barbells or sunlamp in the past 2 or 3 years.Francis is getting ready to hang up the plaque the one issued by the Webbs the preceding years CHARLES BUKOWSKI OUTSIDER OF THE YEAR--1962. note: When the Webbs arrived in LA two months later August 1964 they noted the plaque on the wall Soanes pp. 68-69. By God these women are useful. notes words he is thinking of. Closes with plea: God save the front tires of my cars a little longer.Buk.
