With their outstanding full-color cover art by the reigning masters of fetish illustration, Eric Stanton, Gene Bilbrew and Bill Ward, the First Niter book series may have been the very first mainstream appearance of underground sexuality. The beguiling color cover art blazed across the racks of smoke shops and adult book shops all up and down the Eastern United States. While the predeccesors of the First Niter books, Stanley Malkin and Eddie Mishkin's Satellite magazines had very clandestine circulation, the First Niter books announced their invitation to strange sex with cover art and suggestive titles like STRANGE HUNGERS, BIZARRE and TWISTED -- far from the mainstream sexuality of the popular men's magazines or the suburban lustings of its predecesser Book lines.
Appearing alongside, the first Exotik books in 1963, it appears that the First Niters were originally distributed through Reuben Sturman's WWNC. Then, at around the tenth book, distribution was taken over by the AMD (American Magazine Distributors) with their distinctive logo.
As the SATAN PRESS/CHEVRON/MERCURY/CORSAIR etc., books were Bilbrew's high point and the COMMAND and BIZARRE books were Bill Wards pinnacle, I would offer these First Niters/After Hours/Wee Hours and Unique books as Eric Stanton's great period of color output.
Stanton delivered well over 50% of the cover art for the approximately 260 books in the combined book series. His sense of humor, and eye for detail never more sharp. It pains me to think that the vast bulk of the cover art was rumoured to have been destroyed in police raids on the Miskin storage facilities in the mid-60s.

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

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!
