5.0 out of 5 stars pretty damn decent tribute
Like the other guy said: If you like Buk you'll enjoy this book. Gives you more insight/perspective.
Also, be warned, a small portion contains some awful poetry written by some of these same folks who knew the man. Definitely worth having for your collection, though. Good deal. Read it twice already. The book almost brings Buk back to us.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bottomfeeders, etc
This collection doesn't particularly slice the melon for me. Some decent recollections, a few self-important remembrances, a blast of bad tribute poetry here and there. Go read Factotum, instead

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice collection, October 12, 2001
This review is from: Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row (Paperback)
Some nice essays in here some really bad poetry (not Buk's, of course) and some good little interviews. Sheds a little more light on the The Man. Definetly worth a read, go for it.

4.0 out of 5 stars stories of henry, January 7, 2003
By 
William D. Tompkins (New York, New York USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row (Paperback)
aside from some poems that either copied bukowski's style or were pretty much just bad--the book has some interesting stories
overall henry was probably a pretty much a peice of sh@#t
but his writings shine thru
