My Books
Here is a partial bibliography of the books et alii that I have written—partial, because as I explained in my memoirs, Spine Intact, Some Creases, I no longer have copies of all the books I did and many of the titles have fled my memory; and there are as well those untitled books I did At the end of my gay paperback period. I have made no attempt to include them here.
Nor have I included any books of which I could not with certainty cite titles or bylines. My fellow writer—and sometimes partner—Sam Dodson and I did a great many books together and sometimes with our friend and secretary Elbert Barrow—aka Lady Agatha. I have not included, e.g. Black and White Together (also mentioned in Spine Intact, Some Creases) because, although Sam and I assuredly did write a book with that title, I no longer have a copy and am not sure of the byline or publisher, or even the year of publication. And there was a marriage manual for Brandon House Books and other illustrated books which are also long vanished from my library and my memory.
I also wrote some volumes in the perennially popular macho action series, The Executioner, byline Mack Bolan, but since I haven’t been able to sort out which volumes they were I have left them out as well.
There is some inevitable confusion when one gets into the realm of these paperback publishers’ imprints. Many of the pulp publishers released books under a variety of imprints and sometimes more than one imprint appears in the same book. Greenleaf Classics, Corinth Publications, Leisure Books, Ember Library Books, Sundown Reader, Adult Books, Companion Books, Nightstand Books and Late-Hour Library Books were all essentially the same San Diego operation own by William Hamling et alii. Brandon House Books, Barclay House Books and Private Edition Books were all part of the Luros operations in North Hollywood, and Sherbourne Press and Medco Books were the same Los Angeles outfit.
If the publishers’ imprints were confusing, the questions of bylines is a veritable circus. When they joined forces to form Greenleaf Classics, Scott Meredith was a prominent literary agent in New York City and Hamling was something of a legend in the field of science fiction—as an author and as creator and editor of sci-fi magazines. Between the two of them they brought an incredible list of “A” writers on board to write for Greenleaf. There is a popular misconception that the writers of these paperbacks were usually hacks, but in fact Greenleaf’s stable of writers during its heyday included such popular and well regarded authors as Tony Calvano, Hal Dresner, Robert Silverberg, Donald Westlake, John Jakes, Harlan Ellison, Lawrence Block, Evan Hunter and Marion Zimmer Bradley, among others.
Of course these were not writers who wanted their own names on sexy paperback and in no time at all Greenleaf had accrued a collection of “house names” many of which did multiple duty for numerous writers. So, J.X. Williams, which appeared on some of my novels, was a byline as well for John Jakes and Edward Wood Jr., among others. Don Holliday was a byline for Jakes also, and for Hal Dresner, Lawrence Block, Arthur Plotnik and numerous others.
Earl Kemp has told me that it was originally intended that The Man From C.A.M.P. should have its own, exclusive byline, but the first book got the Don Holliday name by mistake, and once that had been published to such overwhelming success, it was too late to go back and change things.
The result is that someone searching for books by Don Holliday will find that there are literally scores of books with that byline—some of which are indeed my writings and some of which are not. To be honest, even I cannot always distinguish between them, but if there is a particular work about which anyone would like to know, I will try to sort it out.
I have included here only those works of which I am certain. This list represents, as best I can estimate, about three fourths of my total output.

Finding many of these older, out of print, books can be difficult. The sources of which I am aware are all California companies, but I am sure there are probably others.
I have recommended many times Bolerium Books (2141 Mission Street, Suite 300, San Francisco CA 94110, phone (415) 863-6353, ad@bolerium.com), and they are an excellent source for pulp books as well as more serious political and sociological works.
Ron and Maria Blum of Kayo Books (814 Post Street, San Francisco CA 94109, phone (415) 749-0554, www.kayobooks.com) are delightful people with a true love of books and their shop is a must-visit for anyone interested in pulp and coming to San Francisco.
Finally, I cannot fail to mention Lynn Munroe (Lynn Munroe Books, P.O. Box 1736, Orange CA 92856, phone (714) 633-3333, lnmunroe@pacbell.net) who is probably the best source for those specifically interested in my books. He has taken a particular interest in my works, many of which he has sent me to autograph; indeed, more than once he has found and made a gift to me of items that I did not have in my collection. He occasionally does on-line auctions of my books, so there is always the chance of a bargain. Best of all, he is a sweet and charming man and I am happy that we have come to be friends, as I am sure you will be too.
I can’t actually say that you should rush out and look for all of the above books, even if you were likely to find them, and you are not. Some of them really weren’t very good and I am the first to admit it. But I daresay you would likely enjoy others. And if you don’t you are always welcome to try to get your money back.
You won’t get the red shoes, I don’t care how many monkeys you’ve got backing you up.
