He found it nice that my name is Bukowski, too. Glad to have met this ikone of literature. But talking about Mr. Weissner it is good to follow the old Greeks: "Say something that is better than silence or be silent." So I do, im memoriam Mr. Carl Weissner.

Thanks so much for clearing up the extra paper mystery. I would love it if you went through all the posts and provided some inside printing commentary. I come at this from a collector and really am lacking in terms of printing knowledge. I dont know the details of how this offprint came about. It is usually dated as 1964 which is the year of the magazine itself. Jim,

Does anyone know if these articles are available in English? It seems of them come from "Minutes To Go" but I'm not sure about the others.

All I can say is that my bibliomania sometimes leads me to go to the Man for my fix. As Burroughs knew, addiction makes you do terrible things. The Bunker is part of a 12-step program to atone for my various book collecting sins. J Lynn

Surely there's a way to get this shipped from an independent seller, yes? Regardless, very cool the way this historic item took you on such an interesting journey.

Jim,

BTW

The paper is 8.5 X 11 and appears to be a sheet of City Lights letterhead stationery. That has been magic markered. No watermark and the paper is beat up. I havent seen City Lights letterhead/business correspondence in person so I am not sure what type of paper they used, but it seems that this sheet is of low quality. Jim,

Question: what size is the flyer? In UK a flyer is generally smaller than A4/Quarto and would be too small to use as a poster. and talking of paper qualities, does it have a watermark? you’ld not think a flyer from 1978 would have age-toned but my guess is that this functioned as a poster and soaked up those toning rays to give it its colour and friability.
