PEKAR, Harvey. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED by the subject of  the
movie  AMERICAN SPLENDOR. [1989]. Original AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT SIGNED
consisting  of more than 2000 words on 6 pages of both sides of  lined
legal-sized  yellow  paper. Titled "Felipe Alfau," this essay  on  the
Spanish  author  Alfau was submitted by Harvey Pekar for inclusion  in
Dennis  P. Eichhorn's Northwest EXTRA! tabloid. Written in pencil with
some  words  circled  or  underlined in red ink by  Pekar.  The  first
paragraph  captures Pekar's style: "Some years ago I was browsing in a
second-hand  book  store and came upon a stubby red volume, Locos,  by
Felipe  Alfau. I'd never heard of it or Alfau before but a quick  look
indicated  that  it  was at least unusual. And autographed,  which  is
important  because  if you don't want the book you can always deal  it
for  something.  Price: $3.50. Sold!" General, light wear.  Near  Fine
                                                                $500.00
