Numbered A7 in red ink of 125 copies numbered and signed by Bukowski and Montfort of which 100 were for sale. A vivid oversize photographic and literary evocation of Bukowski's undying love for the American race track in all ...its scummy fickle glory."Bukowski didn't like having his photo taken, according to Montfort, and he didn't like new faces. So when Bukowski, who was German-born, got along with this young, easygoing shutterbug from the homeland, Montfort became the official photographer of sorts for the hard-bitten American Rabelais whose legend was on the rise. Montfort and Bukowski collaborated on several projects, such as the 1982 folio Horsemeat, which documented Bukowski during a two-day stint at Santa Anita. Viewing Montfort's photos, you get a taste of why Bukowski was such a colossal talent. Even in the posed shots, there's something uncompromising, raw and authentic about the way he looks that is mirrored in his writings" (Salon). Very Good, in scarce original acetate jacket. Minor edge wear and rubbing with slight age toning along spine. Interior is bright and clean with all tipped in photographs present and accounted for. Please see photos for condition details.
