NIGHT SHADOW BOOKS
While some folks might assume these Night Shadow books (as well as their sibling ROOM MATE BOOKS) to be a lost book line related to the First Niter / After Hours group. The assumption is appropriate -- owing primarily to the apparent similarities shared by all those series -- the AMD logo on the spine, their specific dimensions and uniform 160-page count, size, the textured patterning on the back cover, and finally the appearance of Bill Alexander art work (at least on the ROOM MATE Books). All those similarities are clear, however, my conclusion is that while all books were distributed by the AMD group (which accounts for the apparent similarities in production and book design), the editorial and graphic design operations were entirely separate. The artist at work is not Bill Alexander, but rather, a similar hired-gun like Alexander, doing imitation work -- to emulate the highly successful First Niter / After Hours series. These books all appear in 1966, which is the last year AMD distributed the First Niters/ After Hours / Wee Hours / Unique books. After 1966, Eastern Magazine Distribution (EMD) took over the job. Perhaps these books were AMD's attempt to grab off some of the market. Again, this is just a theory. If there is some studious (and eternally horny) graduate student who would like to do a paper on this subject, I will happily publish and promote it (with a suitably racy title and cover art!)

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!
