Charles Bukowksi. 
 
Black Sparrow Press: 1987. First edition. Hardcover in an acetate jacket. Octavo. Jacket has smudges and loose wrinkling on the spine. The bottom of the front board is bumped and a couple of the corners of the boards are exposed. Fading on the back board. Foxing on the edges of the text block. Included is a postcard with Bukowski's image, from Julie Voss to a Bukowski collector. Voss was the secretary to John Martin, legendary founder of Black Sparrow. 125 pages. Book very good, jacket good. 
 
Wonderful production of the screenplay for Barfly. Any book with pictures of course you'll open to the movie stars first, and here the photos work to show set bonhomie between writer, filmmakers, and true barflies. But the words get you fast and keep you in Bukowski's vision. 
 
"Henry Chinaski: Late twenties. Already life-worn. More weary than angry. Face formed by the streets, poverty.  If he is mad, then it is the madness of the disowned who lack interest in the standard way of life. Rather than enter the treadmill of society he has chosen the bottle and the bars."
