DORIAN BOOK SERVICE, 693 Mission Street, San Francisco 5,
California. A subsidiary of the Mattachine Review and the
Pan-Graphic Press. They publish the Dorian Book Quarterly, dealt
with elsewhere, and also a fat, fascinating catalogue listing
several hundred titles of current hardcover and paperback fiction.
They can also furnish, or will locate, many out-of-print titles. My
experience with them: prompt service, fast shipment, up-to-date
information on cheap reprints of rare titles.
VILLAGE BOOKS AND PRESS, 114-116 Christopher Street, New York 14,
New York. This is the outfit behind the Noel Garde bibliography of
Homosexual Literature, mentioned in the editorial. They can still
supply this biblio list for $1.50. They also issue lists at frequent
intervals, and will search for hard-to-find and out-of-print titles.
Prices seem reasonable considering the scarcity of some of the
paperbacks he handles. The proprietor, Howard Frisch, is one of the
most co-operative dealers in the business.
ONE Magazine, listed in “Related Publications” has published one
volume of short stories, and is soon to do more publishing; they
also list several dozen books sold by mail order.
THE LADDER, listed in “Related Publications”, is soon to set up a
book service; their first special release will be Jeannette Howard
Foster’s “Sex Variant Women in Literature”, so keep your eyes open.
THE TENTH MUSE, bookshop managed by Julia Newman, 326 West 15th St,
New York 11, New York, also does some mail order business. Write for
a list.
A POINTS NORTHE, unusual bookshop at 15 Robinson Street, in Oklahoma
City, managed by James Neill Northe, into which your senior editor
virtually stumbled during a rainstorm, specializes in very rare,
esoteric and scholarly titles, curiosa, etc. He can supply even the
most fantastically rare stuff; prices are in line with the rarity of
the items wanted. (It was Mr. Northe who, with disinterested
kindness, supplied some biblio data on the real rarities on the
list; he has our thanks and endorsement.)
BOOKPOST, C. Rogers, Box 3251, San Diego 3, California. This outfit
specializes in Americana, but can supply almost anything. The prices
here are the most reasonable I’ve ever encountered; if Rogers quotes
you a price, there’s no point in shopping around for a lower one.
INTERNATIONAL BOOKFINDERS, P O Box 3003, Beverly Hills, California.
These people are the out-of-print bookfinders par excellence. I’ve
ordered many books from them; their prices are reasonable, never
exorbitant; their service is good, the books they supply are always
of high quality. They’re nice to deal with. I’ve never had a
complaint in ten years of bookhunting.
