    Box 22

    Rare Books

    This collection contains periodicals and monographs with content written by or about poet, novelist, and short-story writer Charles Bukowski that were collected by Bukowski's long-time publisher and Black Sparrow Press founder, John Martin. The collection contains 703 items from 255 periodicals and 37 monographs dating 1940 to 2003, with the bulk of items spanning from 1956 to 1979, that include poems, short stories, interviews, introductions, and excerpts by Bukowski, as well as some additional periodicals associated with Bukowski. The earliest items in the collection -- a January 19, 1940, issue of the Los Angeles Collegian, Bukowski's college newspaper, and the first issues of The Naked Ear dating from 1956 -- do not contain writings by Bukowski. Among the earliest items with contributions by Bukowski is the September-October 1957 issue of Existaria. Items consist primarily of literary periodicals (including "little magazines" or 'zines), magazines, and alternative/underground newspapers, as well as some chapbooks and anthologies. The collection features a complete run of the ten issues of the periodical Nomad published between 1959 and 1962, as well as eighty-six issues of Open City from the late 1960s and issues of the Los Angeles Free Press that together provide a near complete run of Bukowski's column "Notes of a Dirty Old Man." Many of the items have penciled annotations including "C", "D", and "E" numbers that reference A Bibliography of Charles Bukowski (Black Sparrow Press, 1969) by Sanford Dorbin, as well as "NID" notations indicating items not in Dorbin's bibliography. The collection forms a subset of the Charles Bukowski Printed Material Collection held in the Rare Books Department of the Huntington Library.
