Charles Bukowski, True Story

Bukowski, Charles. TRUE STORY, ON GOING OUT TO GET THE MAIL, TO KISS THE WORMS GOODNIGHT, THE GIRLS / FOR THE MERCY-MONGERS, and THE FLOWER LOVER / I MET A GENIUS. Los Angeles: Black Sparrow Press, [1966]. First editions. 5 broadside poems.  Folio.  Each broadside is one of 27 numbered copies signed by the author (of a total edition of 30). Publisher John Martin remembers giving many of the broadsides away to random visitors in a time when Bukowski was virtually unknown. Broadsides. A fine, complete set of these rare Bukowski broadsides, which comprise five of the first six titles published by the Black Sparrow Press (Morrow & Lafourcade 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6).  Early Bukowski and, at this late juncture, virtually unobtainable.  Housed in a custom-made chemise and clamshell box
