Fine. #119/350 COPIES OUT OF A TOTAL EDITION OF 450 COPIES SIGNED BY BUKOWSKI; THIS COPY WITH A LENGTHY INSCRIPTION BY BUKOWSKI ON THE LIMITATION PAGE: "People who constantly talk about "Love" remind me very much of a pair of gloves lost in the compartment of an automobile far to the right [corrected in Bukowski's hand] and forgotten until found in a junkyard a decade later to be worn upon the hands of a sadist. For further use. Charles Bukowski". Beneath his signature are original drawings of a dog and a flower.  This quote beautifully illustrated Bukowski's somewhat jaded view of life.
