Every year, following the publication of the Checklist, we receive a
number of queries. Where, they want to know, can we buy these books? We
can only tell you where we buy books; and have therefore assembled the
following list of reputable dealers, mail order, who handle these books
and many others.
WINSTON BOOK SERVICE, 250 Fulton Avenue; Hempstead, New York.
Successor to the famous Cory Book Service which was founded by
Donald Webster Cory, author of “The Homosexual in America”. This is
perhaps the best American source for current novels in hard covers
and non-fiction. They issue catalogs and lists, give a sizable
discount for large orders, and will also locate hard-to-find or
out-of-print books. Leslie Laird Winston, who is the presiding
genius here, is one of the nicest people to deal with that we have
ever known. Every month they feature some new or special book in the
field, at a special price. Getting on their mailing list is the
_best_ thing that can happen to a collector.
