A LITMUS first edition (based in Berkeley, California), published and distributed by POETRY X/CHANGE in Glendale, California.  The text is typewritten, the cover title hand inked; this slim booklet epitomizes Bukowski's approach to art -- immediate; championing the small, independent press; speaking to the everyday of everyman's mundane existence.

Cover art by P. David Horton is entitled "Self Portrait."

In very nice condition that belies its ephemeral looks.

Signed on the title page. 

AS IS! Please see photos. More photos available upon request.
