Part 15 (2/2)

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 publis.h.i.+ng; 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 ”s.e.x 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 t.i.tles, 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 endors.e.m.e.nt.)

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.

RAYMOND TRANFIELD, Antiquarian Book Dealer, 31 Hart Street, Henley-Upon-Thames, Oxon, England, is probably the best source for older books published in England. His prices are reasonable, his service is fast (he quotes by airmail and sends his parcels insured, which is a blessing for anything which has to travel across the ocean).
