THE NYLON NETNEVER TOO YOUNGCHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!


The short run of Crescent books were graced with the cover art of both Gene Bilbrew and the husband wife team of John and Elaine Duillo, with Bilbrew producing the lionshare of the titles. However, two of the several titles the Duillos contributed, NEVER TOO YOUNG and THE HUNGRY ONES are classics of sleaze cover art.
While the first four titles claim a Philadelphia, PA origin, the rest of the Crescent books issued from the Cleveland Headquarters of Reuben Sturman's World Wide News Corporation (WWNC), here assigned the address of 2075 East 65th Street, Cleveland, Ohio -- an address I recently visited only to find a overgrown vacant lot. Along with the other WWNC books, Crescent, Mercury, Chevron, and Satan Press, they represent the best-loved color work of the late, tormented and demented Gene "Eneg" Bilbrew.
His was a distinct vision of the world and he employed an equally distinct means of expression as well.
Writers included Paul Hugo Little, Ben Stone and others.

Be sure to cross-check the "Writers" and "Artists" and "Themes" areas also!  
New books will be added as they become available.  

   

Here's a special catalog selection of CRESCENT books.   Enjoy!

How to order

This is a self-made website and while it might be extensive, it is not super-sophisticated.  The little buy icon icon takes you to a generic order form where you can type in the author, title, price, and indicate whether you would like to send me a check, money order or credit card payment.  I will confirm availability via e-mail, and once I've received payment, I'll ship the book.  If you have questions,  please don't hesitate to ask  via email.

Condition Grades

There's a standard bookseller vocabulary, with terms like Fine, Very Good, Good and Poor to assess condition (to see these terms defined, click on the link above).  Most of my books are in Very Good or better condition, and I tend to overemphasize their flaws so that any surprise is a pleasant one.  Feel free to ask questions, and if the book isn't in the condition described, you may return it for a full refund. 

Wants Lists

If I don't have the book you seek in stock, I will retain your book search in my wants files and email you when I do have a copy for sale. If you don't hear back from me immediately, that probably means I don't have a copy right now.  But fear not,  I keep extensive files and never stop looking....  so send me your request;  you've got nothing to lose!

Not everything is listed on-line. Let me know what you're looking for.
