THE AMBOY DUKES

Over two million copies of this novel have been sold in the United States. Of the novel, this has been said, "The Amboy Dukes represent a small minority among boy gangs, but because of over-crowded schools and tired teachers, racial and religious tensions, that small minority is becoming alarmingly less small. That is why Mr. Shulman's book is important and timely." With its slashing realism it is one of the best novels on juvenile delinquency ever written.

The Real Gone Goose - George Bagby

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN HARDBACK BY T.V. BOARDMAN

George Bagby has always appreciated New York City as a place in which a person can live for years without ever knowing his nearest neighbour.

But not every New Yorker had 'a girl next door' like Sabra, a goofy kid whose unwashed Beatnik friends seemed to spurn everything - soap, bourgeois morals, privacy - everything, that is, except Sabra's unlimited supply of cash. Suddenly Sabra, the 'goose that laid the golden eggs' was gone...real gone. And that was when George Bagby, trying to clarify his relationship with Sabra to the pressm and to his friends at Police Headquarters, decided Sabra had been far less trouble when she was alive.

THE REAL GONE GOOSE is an exciting mystery story that is unusual in that it has the background to murder, the weird and unrealistic world of the 'Beatnik Generation'.
