others

This section contains books that are from publishers that were too small to be included in the original list that you see on the Database Index Page. It also contains American publishers that were established in the 1960's and 70's.

You're going to see a lot of "Sleaze" covers here, as well.

Since I have opened the site up to include contributed images of books from the 60's and 70's, I've had a hard time keeping pace. In just four years, my "Others" section has grown from a few hundred to almost 5,000 (even after I stripped out 3,500 images from Non-US publishers and put them all in their own folder). I will be adding new publishers and new images as often as I can. I'd like to particularly thank the contributors of covers in this section for their patience.

As this portion of the BookScans database grows, some of the links at the left may lead to separate directories of their own, but the transitions should be smooth and self-explanatory. If you encounter any problems, please email me.

A few of the publishers' pages will contain links to Kenneth R. Johnson's online book: Defunct Publishers, which is his ongoing, definitive index of several publishing houses that are no longer with us. It is a tremendous resource for those interested in the history of vintage U.S. paperbacks.

Enjoy.

Note: Harlequin, Laser and White Circle, all of Toronto, Ontario, are now part of the "Non-US" database.
