I wrote about the Am Here Books Catalog Five over at RealityStudio and as promised here are some entries from the catalog that I thought were interesting. Here is Dennis Cooper on Charles Bukowski:
275. BUKOWSKI,
CHARLES. It Catches My Heart In Its Hands.
New Orleans: Loujon, 1963.
This is a most unusual copy with a fine signed and dated inscription by
the author facing the colophon page. An
important and handsomely produced work.
Very fine copy. $125
The original, extremely rare edition of what just might be
Bukowski’s best book of poems is a careful and exotic production on its own
terms, and the poems therein, many unavailable elsewhere, are as valid as he’ll
ever get them. – D.C.
276. BUKOWSKI, CHARLES. Crucifix
In A Deathhand. Etchings by Noel Rockmore. N.Y.:
Loujon/Lyle Stuart, 1965. This copy
lacks the wrap-around band. Signed and
dated by the poet facing the colophon page.
Wrappers.
This is the place to start.
A generally smart selection from a slew of his early books. He was never this sharp and perceptive again.
– D.C.
280. BUKOWSKI, CHARLES. Mockingbird
Wish Me Luck. L.A.: Black Sparrow, 1972. Wrappers.
One of 2500 copies.
One of the better collections from Bukowski’s self-conscious
period. As self-parody, it is unusually
acute. As poetry, it fares best with the
young-at-brain and the overtly drunk.
The top of his slide. – D.C.

Also includes a special insert, The Infernal Method, written, designed and printed by Aaron Cohick (NewLights Press). OOP.
