Crucifix in a Deathhand

Bukowski, Charles (Illus. by Noel Rockmore)

Description:

1965. One of 3100 copies printed by hand at the Loujon Press, New Orleans. Designed, printed and bound by Louise and Jon Webb. Signed by Bukowski and dated 3-12-65. Beneath the date Bukoski has added ‘New Orleans, LA. 8:40 P.M.’ and a small drawing of himself standing beside a very large bottle of something alcoholic. A crisp, beautiful copy, with hardly any visible wear (even the paper title-band is crisp and unworn); previous owner’s signature on the front endpaper.
