William Henley Knoles
   
The Desdamona Affair

William Knoles

The mad genius of the softcover novel, Clyde Allson (actually named William Knoles) wrote with all circuits in the "on" postion: clever wit, unbridled imagination, rollicking full-tilt pacing and delightful phrasing of sexual suggestion.   Not originally striving to be a writer, Knoles was working as an assistant in the office of the Scott Meredith Literary Agency in the 1961-1962, when he was drafted into submitting fiction manuscripts to Bedside Books and later Greenleaf books -- all of which were met with wild enthusiasm.  The level of enthusiasm was such that former Greenleaf story-chief Earl Kemp recalls his fellow editors fighting over who would get first read of the Knoles' submissions.  Best known for his James Bondian spy spoof 0008 series written under the "Clyde Allison" pseudonym and issued from various Greenleaf imprints (Ember Library, Candid Reader, Nightstand and Leisure Books) from 1965-1968, Knoles published over 69 novels, as well as short humor pieces in early 1960s men's magazines under the pseudonym "Max Williams."  In addition, the "Clyde Allison" pseudonym was sometimes modified to "Clyde Anderson,""Clyde Ames" and "Carter Allen" as well.  Highly recommended reading on William Henley Knoles life is Lynn Munroe's elegaic biographical essay reprinted in Earl Kemp's Ezine # EL 7

New titles will be added as they become available.

How to order

This is a self-made website by little old me, and while it might be big, it is not 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.  It's that easy.  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!
