2 THE BEST MISTAKE EVER! AND OTHER STORIES BY RICHARD SCARRY BOOK CLUB EDITION ebay The Detective Book Club began issuing their volumes in April Volumes are not individually dated. The primary source of dating information is Michael L. Cook's Murder by Mail. Inside the Mystery At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition Clubs 2nd edition, That list was compiled with

3 the assistance of Theodore M. Black, then president of the club and a descendant of At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition original Walter J. Cook's listing provides the month and year most of At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition volumes were issued. One complication is that occasionally left over print runs would be combined in perhaps random ways to produce 3-in-1's that were used for promotional volumes. The most common of these are probably those with three different Erle Stanley Gardner novels. A second complication is that business was good enough that Black created a second club within the club, the Inner Circle, for readers who wanted more than one omnibus a month. From Cook's listing it appears that Inner Circle most commonly issued two volumes at a time, bi-monthly. Inner Circle volumes are identified by Cook and, from Cook's authority, in this checklist though the end At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition Cook's listing. There is no way, though, from the volumes themselves, to tell of a volume was a regular issue of the Detective Book Club, a special promotional volume, or issued for the members of the Inner Circle. Cook's checklist ends with October Dating volumes that are not included in Cook's list is arbitrary, based on the original publication dates of the novels included in each volume. The Detective Book Club included books quite soon after publication. Because it seems like a reasonable approach, this checklist continues, afterto continue to assign each volume to a specific year. If you examine any of the listings post October you should observe that each title is followed by a year in parentheses. This year is based on the date of the novel's original publication in the US. Occasionally both the UK and the US publication dates are shown, each identified. These dates are based on bookseller listings and library catalogs. These post dates are only approximations. Lacking access to book club shipping invoices someone probably has a stash of books in storage somewhere with a dated packing slip inserted into each volume using the content's publication dates is at least consistant and very likely to be close to correct. If an omnibus contains volumes published in multiple years then the most recently published novel is used to assign a year to the omnibus. For example one volume assigned to It is extremely unlikely that any book issued in the January of a given year contained any novels that were published in that same year. We know, for example, that the volume assigned by Cook to January, contains three novels that were first published in the United States in So it is very safe to assume that from onwards, some of the volumes arbitrarily assigned to each of those years were really issued by the club in a subsequent year. The short answer is "I don't know - maybe nothing". However: Based on our arbitrary methodology, only 5 volumes have been assigned to and 7 to Perhaps they had overbought in prior years. Perhaps the Inner Circle was ended, and older titles intended for that subgroup were distributed in those two years. But the three years prior have 13, 18, and 10 titles respectively, and the three years after have 13, 17 and 18 titles. So it is not unreasonable to guess that the publisher and or book club went though some kind of transition at that time. The answer is probably buried in Publisher's Weekly. But there are a few cases there a story's appearance in the Detective Book Club represents the first US Edition of a book or even the first edition period. Walter J Black also issued copies bound separately; there is no print date, but there is a copyright on the verso of the title page, which leads some booksellers to offer it as a first US edition. The British edition was published in March Utter Death by John Hymers,from March Publication date, by Ives Washburn, was February, Its first regular publication was in Pocket BooksApril Ethan was first published by the Detective Book Club in August I find no editions of this; there are references to it being published inbut no details are provided. Columbo and the Samurai Sword. A series of original Columbo paperbacks were issued in the 's; this title appeared after the termination of the series - probably or later - and appears to be its only book publication. The lead title in a At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition from -ish has the wrong author on the front cover. The spine and title At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition show correctly Roderic Jeffries. I discovered this from a listing by on-line bookseller Turtleman Bookswho has had At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition extensive selection of detective book club issues for sale. There are a very few minor errors in Cook's fine reference to the Detective Book Club and other book clubs though Several are noted below. May Cook p. At Danceteria and Other Stories by Philip Dean Walker The story of Madonna's origins as an artist is as important as the music itself in understanding the impact she's had on bringing the underground into the mainstream. A huge chapter in that now-infamous At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition took place at New York City's legendary nightclub, Danceteria. Unlike many of today's pop starlets, Madonna wasn't born in a board room. She's not a formula based on focus groups, Billboard charts, polls and Nielsen ratings. She isn't the brainchild of some calculating record exec, plotting from behind a desk. While her career and image may be no less calculated and carefully crafted than performers like Britney and Lady Gaga, the Queen of Pop's early influences were far more raw. What she is, is a member of a formidable group of artists who've impacted the world in a variety of meaningful and entertaining ways, all tracing their roots back to one spectacular moment in time: Danceteria. A At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition club that NYC nightlife veteran Steve Lewis describes as having been " a creative cauldron, like a brilliant comet that flew the sky and cut through all the other bullshit.

4 Sincehe's written "Goodnight Mr. Lewis," a nightlife column for Blackbook. Lewis' first gig in the clubs was at Danceteria, producing a series of epic fashion shows that introduced the industry to unknown designers from all over the world Isabel Toledo, for one. He later went on to produce Moschino's first US fashion show. Danceteria opened its doors in as the accidental anti-studio 54 but Lewis says that comparing the two is doesn't tell the full story. It was guys with their shirts At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition down to their dicks asking you what your sign is, but then there'd be of the most incredible people in the world like Andy Warhol and Mick Jagger. The VIP's weren't the most successful or famous people, it was the ones who were on the verge of something". With 54 already legendary for its glittering exclusivity, Danceteria helped usher in a new type of dance club, marrying high and low brow with a genre-hopping roster of bands, artists, DJ's, video installations and events. The party raged all night, so Danceteria got the closing-time spillover from At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition, discos, gay clubs and everything in between, creating a melting pot of people unlike anyone had ever seen. Although over the course of its run, Danceteria inhabited three different At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition locations and one in the Hamptons, it was at the second spot, opened in at 30 West 21st Street, that hosted many of its most famous shows and faces. The club had three distinctly different floors: Level 1 was the dance floor, with DJ's often running 12 hour sets, mixing New Wave, punk, pop, disco, Cuban music, soul, rock, and basically anything else that would keep people moving. Level 2 housed the live performance stage, where bands would play and Lewis' fashion shows were held while Level 3 held a restaurant and the Danceteria Video Lounge. The first of its kind, the video lounge had resident artists VJ'ing live mixes of video art, found footage, pre-mtv music videos and musical performances. With all of this going on concurrently on a nightly basis, i t was one of the first venues that provided a curated, multi-level, multimedia experience. Although it's now most often associated with Madonna, Danceteria served as the jump-off for an insanely diverse array of artists and cultural icons. Sade was a bartender and also had her first live performance at the club in Madonna, a part-time waitress, full-time dance floor presence and aspiring pop star, flush with ambition and charisma, found herself perched at this perfect cross-section of downtown New York's art, music and fashion worlds. While a fiercely competitive nature prevented her from being totally accepted into the scene, she soaked in all its prolific energy nonetheless and made friends with the right people. After recording her first single, "Everybody," inshe convinced him to play it during one of his sets, marking her official entree as a member of the artistic community. Shortly thereafter she gave her first ever live performance on the second floor stage At Danceteria and Other Stories 1st edition Danceteria to an extremely receptive crowd. Madonna the pop singer was born with Danceteria, the wildly creative landscape that had helped to mold her, serving as the delivery room. After the third location in Midtown and subsequent Hamptons incarnation, the club faded into infamy, as most New York clubs inevitably do. Today, anyone looking to experience a similarly exquisite cross-pollination of cultures and genres is basically fucked. Economics also plays a big part in the splintering of nightlife scenes. Rent in Manhattan is insane for a place with the square footage that Danceteria had. It's a simple mathematical equation: You can't make rent on some rock 'n rollers having a few drinks. Bottle service and all that is about bringing in enough money to make a profit. Danceteria would never survive today. The world has changed. Of course, Madonna has changed with it, shapeshifting into seemingly endless incarnations of singer, dancer, actress and performance artist. From the downtown hustler to icon, the up and comer to the Black Card holder. While her days at Danceteria are long past, the early exposure to that serendipitous collision of culture, art and music no doubt honed her ability to evolve constantly, try a multitude of genres without fear and incorporate elements of the underground into her music and image.
