(A number of groups might be interested in this; a partial
witchcraft/demonology/supernatural listing is at the bottom)

Dover Publications sent me a 46 page mail order catalog listing over
350 books, all either paperback or trade editions and priced
accordingly. Dover also has over 80 "thrift editions" of assorted well
known works for $1.00 each. This is, of course, just a partial list
and I recommend sending for the complete mail order catalog; a free
catalog of 5,400 paperbound books is also available. No credit card
orders, $3.00 per order for mail, $4.50 for UPS. Order by mail only
