The figures in brackets after the books are a rough guide to the values of the books. These have been obtained from sales on various internet auction sites and are in USD.

Some of these books can be bought from Hangman Books and Records

If you are due to publish a book with Billy let me know and contact me with more information.

Some of Billy's later books seem to have a few covers, I got these covers from Amazon Buy from Amazon.co.uk  Buy from Amazon.com Apparently they are test covers or proofs and therefore may not exist on the final publication. If I don't have the book with that cover I am assuming its a test cover, it could always be a later addition which I don't have. If you have the actual book with the cover let me know. Some of the limited edition books cannot be bought through Amazon, these links will take to the general release book, its up to you to make sure you buy the correct one.

I have now added flags Buy from Amazon.co.uk  Buy from Amazon.com next to various book titles. By clicking on these you will be taken to the appropriate section of Amazon to purchase or find out more about the book. If any of these links are not working, or the book is out of stock, let me know.
