From the Back Cover
-- Washington Post Book World
"The M.D. is simply one of the best novels of horror-fantasy I've ever read. Thomas Disch has been writing wonderful tales of imagination for years now -- stories that sometimes amuse, sometimes sting, sometimes horrify, and sometimes manage to do all three at the same time -- but The M.D. is surely his magnum opus."
-- Stephen King
"A seductive premise ... as morally subversive as a Hitchcock movie ... The M.D. fully, and brilliantly, earns its subtitle: a horror story."
-- Entertainment Weekly
"Each new page, like an electric eel, is poised to shock."
-- Los Angeles Times
"I read Thomas M. Disch's The M.D. with pure delight ... A story that, regardless of its subtitle, breaks all the genre chains. It is suspenseful, engrossing, full of well-observed and convincing characters, steeped in irony, sly, often darkly hilarious yet with serious intentions that give it considerable impact."
-- Dean Koontz
"A truly stunning work of supernatural horror."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Resonate[s] with surprise and menace ... Surely the liveliest horror novel since Clive Barker's The Damnation Game."
-- USA Today

We started as a mail order bookstore in 1991 in the San Francisco Bay Area. We published catalogs on a quarterly or semi-annual basis. Drafting, printing and mailing catalogs were extremely time consuming. Each catalog was written and edited in Word Perfect in the publishing mode, printed at the local Kinko's shop, assembled into catalog format by page number, address labels applied (printed from another program) and finally stamped with postage and carried in boxes to the Post Office for mailing to our customer list. Our last catalog before going online was our Spring/Summer 1996 catalog. Top Shelf Books was one of the first specialty booksellers to go online. We actually had to create the website, page by page, coding in HTML. Each book's jacket had to be scanned and uploaded.…
