All?s Normal Here: Signed with Drawing by Charles Bukowski (#17/27)

Charles Bukowski

Edité par Rudy Duck Press, 1985

Published in 1985, this is a signed copy of the book, All?s Normal Here. This is #17 of 27 copies signed by Charles Bukowski and editor J. Glazier.

In addition to his signature, Bukowski has included 4.25? x 2.5? variation of his Little Man With A Bottle sketch.

All?s Normal Here was published by Glazier?s Rudy Duck Press. Glazier included Bukowski in two issues of his poetry journal Oro Madre, as well as the chapbooks Going Modern and All's Normal Here.

Spanning 110 pages, this is a large format (8.5"x 10.75"), perfect-bound book that contains a number of drawings by Bukowski, as well as 14 pieces by him, including poems, letters, and essays.·

Other pieces range from assessments and testimonies to tributes and poems by Bukowski associates like Hugh Fox, Jack Micheline, Marvin Malone, Gerald Locklin, A.D. Winans, David Barker, Charles Potts, Ann Menebroker, Al Fogel and many more.

Unlike a lot of books, the writings about Bukowski are interesting. Of the 110 pages of content, 90 percent is well worth reading, including a small piece on LouJon press and a bitter little note from John Martin.

The Bukowski letters are replicated in full, unlike the edited-down versions that were included in the later compilations.

Due to the black covers with a heavy coating, it?s hard to find copies without noticeable white creases on the covers. This copy is much better than most, with edgewear, spots along the spine from being read, a small crease at the top left of the rear cover, and a small spot of the paper edges.

All in all, Near Fine based on other copies I?ve held.
