"Andrew Shaw"
   
CHECK OUT THIS BOOK!
"Andrew Shaw"


The pen-name of "Andrew Shaw" was originally attached to the work of Lawrence Block for his Greenleaf-published novels of the early 1960s.  While most (if not all) of the early "Shaw" novels were written by Block, starting around 1963-64 the authorship of the "Shaw" books shifts to include the work of other writers such as William Coons and later, Hal Dresner.   Perhaps in an effort to vary the author bylines of the Greenleaf publications, the "Andrew Shaw" house name was mutated into both "Andrew Shole" and "Andrew Shay" for a brief period in 1963.  The "Shaw" house name continued to appear on Greenleaf publications through the late 1960s and even appears as late as 1973.

Lynn Munroe has closely examined the early work of Lawrence Block and his seminal essay on the early Greenelaf/Andrew Shaw books "The First Andrew Shaw" appears in Earl Kemp's EL #14.   Equally informative is the more recent Ed Gorman examination entitled "Lawrence with a W and Block with a K."


New Shaw 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!
