While the adult publishing world is full of stories, none quite match the inner-workings of Star Distributors -- which finally resulted in the body of founder "DiBi" DiBernardo turning up in a trunk in the meadowlands of New Jersey.   Star Distributors was in business for some 14-5 years and their output was massive.   Yet, even among the dozens and dozens of individual book lines issued under the Star banner, they were all united by a shared sensibility embracing the farthest edges of sexual fantasy and experimentation.   Simply put, they are at the bottom -- the nastiest, most twisted, most sleazy of all the adult publishers.  

A friend turned up a ware-house find of several dozen factory-fresh Star books of various imprints -- and I thought at first I cannot in good conscience display these!  However, in the anthropological interest which informs this website (as a source of research and reference), I will present the Star books as they come in.  Some books, however, will be restricted from sale for the present time.

It is my sincere hope that their presence on the site will be interpreted in the appropriate manner.  If you would like to weigh in on this fundamental ethical debate, please contact the booksmith.

And back to the Star Dist. history, for a moment, it is worth reading the book GHOSTS OF 42nd STREET for more information on the founding fathers.  In closing, while many publishers decry the influence of "the mob" as ruining the adult book business, Star Distributors never uttered that complaint.
