For what I paid for this item, I expected a quality product. What I got was something that someone put together on their home computer and had bound at Kinko's. They could have at least made sure the black ink was full. Some of the images, including the cover, are crooked and not centered on the page and the pages themselves are all of different weights of paper. And, for a 2005 calander, it would be nice to enjoy it during 2005. I ordered on 11/21/04 and it was not shipped until 2/6/05. So much for what was originally a Christmas gift for a huge Bukowski fan! If the maker/seller had taken the time, and the money charged to me, to have this professionally done in a timely manner, this had the potential to be a wonderful and original item, but I could have done this myself much quicker, cheaper, and with better quality......stoned!

I agree completely with "Wonder Girl's" review of this calendar-and wish it had been there to see when I ordered this item. I too waited three months for this primitive little product to arrive, and was not impressed. Save your money or buy a copy of "Shakespeare Never Did This" if you want decent quality pictures of the man. This calendar is shoddy goods.

ZERO stars....Hank would have killed anyone who bought something like this... a fetid cash-grab...is he to become a cult-of-personality item to be capitolised on like everyone else? This kind of S**T is EXACTLY what he hated and fought against in his work; respect the ideal and buy a Simpsons calendar or something. I'm insulted that Montfort, whom Bukowski trusted and let into his privacy, would stoop this low. What's next, collector's cups at Burger King?
