This file is also readable as a WWW article at
http://www.io.com/user/tittle/books/catalogues.html
This file is always the most up-to-date.
I welcome all contributions. Please include addresses, information (do
they accept overseas orders? local or any currency? etc) and comments
with your suggested additions. I will take contributions from both
private parties and from the companies themselves. Extremely
specialized topics are fine. I prefer catalogues that inventory at
least 90% books, please don't send me information about catalogues
that contain only the occasional book. Thank you!
I make no guarantees as to the correctness of each entry. If you spot
anything that needs correcting, let me know and I will update.
Phone numbers are supplied "as is." Especially when phoning to another
country, you will have to verify the proper prefix codes that you must
dial.

Major international booksearch. The client supplies
author(s)/title(s) and any other relevant information. I can also
search by narrowly defined subject area. I can advise on likely
success and am always pleased to help the client organise and
prioritise search requirements. I'm equally at ease with 'one-off'
searches and major specialist collection-building.
The search works very simply for the customer. If/when I locate a
title I report to the customer giving full details of the
copy(ies) offered and quoting an all expenses paid, delivered
price. The customer may decline the offer for any reason - there's
no obligation - and no fees are charged. It should be borne in
mind though that processing costs and mailing are incorporated
into the quoted price so it's not realistic to expect a book to be
offered at shelf-price.
If you take up the offer prepayment is required, usually by VISA
or MASTERCARD though sterling cheque is OK as are money orders.
Non sterling currency acceptable subject to an extra conversion
charge (levied by my bank - not me) of the equivalent of stlg5. In
the near future I hope to be able to offer AMEX and payment in $
(USD).
All books are guaranteed to be as described, fully refundable if
not. Although I'm UK based I'm familiar with mailing books to all
corners. I quite frequently arrange mailing from US based dealers
to US customers. The aim is to get the books to the customer as
conveniently and cost-effectively as possible..
Lastly.. if you SELL books.. why not check out my regular WANTS
LISTS in rec.arts.books. marketplace or on

Postal book service, specialising in second-hand works on all
aspects of sexuality. Catalogues on various subjects issued on a
fairly regular basis. Of particular interest are the "Special" and
"Vintage Paperback" catalogues. The first lists uncommon items of
erotica and related material of a bibliographical and historical
character. The "Vintage Paperback" catalogues are extensive,
seldom less than 1,000 items, and include erotic literature
published by Brandon House, the Olympia Press (Paris and New
York), Collector's Publications, Greenleaf Classics, etc. The
entries in both catalogues are often accompanied by useful
bibliographical notes incorporating information not easily found
elsewhere. The real names of pseudonymous authors are given, where
known by the compiler. Due to the size of the "Vintage Paperback"
catalogue, there is a charge for a copy. However, the catalogues
are handy reference works in themselves, and worth the price on
that account, and their cost is deducted from the bill of any
books you buy.

Book Clubs
Note that many book clubs are actually operated by the same company.
In this case, the company is listed with its satellite clubs. The
lists are not complete, so if you notice gaps, addresses and
corrections are welcomed. I know for example that Doubleday BC,
Literary Guild and SFBC are all under the same company, but I don't
know the company name.
A tip regarding the book clubs that require you to send back a "no"
notification for the current selection (also known as "negative
response"): you can save yourself some postage and hassles by
informing them that you travel a lot or have an irregular schedule and
to switch your status to a positive response (mail the card in only
when you want a book). Most clubs will do this.
BSBISY = "buy several books in several years".
Most clubs have some sort of bonus plan: free books or substantial
price reductions after the purchase of so many books. There are
usually substantial savings when joining the club: several books for a
dollar, for example.

Founded in 1949, the book club is open to every one (person or
organization) inside and outside Germany. Subscription is DM
14.-(students DM 7.-)/year plus obligation of purchase of 1 book a
year. There is a possibility of group-memberships. Ask for details
directly. The club is a mainly a publisher in itself which edits
literature in sciences, social sciences and humanities, but offers
some books by other companies as well. As book-prices are fixed in
Germany there is not always a possibility of economies when
purchasing books by other publishers. The books of the club itself
are cheaper than in the book store. The club/publishing house is
most famous for a series called "Wege der Forschung" (paths of
research), which re-prints important articles and chapters of
books from the history of the research into a specific subject
(covering sciences, social sciences, humanities). BUT EVERYTHING
IN GERMAN, with the exception that in the mentioned series some
numbers have parts in original and some do translate them. There
are other series as well including editions of classical texts,
over- views of and introductions into special fields of research.
The club additionally offers a selection of arts and artisan
works, the latter often remakes of historical artisan work e.g.
keltish etc. These are offered in an extra catalogue. (From member
