Some scarce editions. Issued by the Black Sparrow Press, a New England based independent book publisher, known for literary fiction and poetry. Originally founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1966 by John Martin and Barbara Martin in order to publish the works of Charles Bukowski and other avant-garde authors. Recognizable for its distinctive and bold covers, each volume was printed alongside a signed limited run with handbound boards.
