Collecting Charles Bukowski--A Primer

I wrote this article on collecting the works of poet & novelist Charles Bukowski for Firsts Magazine. It appeared in the January 1995 issue. While the values ascribed to his collectible books, chapbooks and ephemera have changed over the years, the facts of his life and the unfolding of his writing career do not suffer from the winds of change. Enjoy.
