Introduction to the New Edition

1001 Midnights was first published in 1985, the end productof more than two years of fairly intensive effort. Its originalpublisher, Arbor House, assured us that it would have alarge first printing and that it would remain in printindefinitely as a seminal reference work. These turned outto be false promises. Arbor House clearly lost interest in theproject even before it was published, as evidenced byshoddy typesetting procedures and an initial (and only) printrun of less than 4,000 copies; and the book was remain-dered less than six months after publication. The firstedition, as a result, has become an increasingly scarce and

expensive collectors item.No attempt has been made to update the contents for thisnew edition. Time constraints and other factors prohibitedsuch a major revision. The reader should keep in mind thatthe reviews and commentary in these pages reflect the stateof mystery and detective fiction as of the early 1980s. Manyimportant contemporary authors are not included, or weregiven only a single entry at the time, because they had yetto begin writing or were in the early stages of their careers.Conversely, some authors deemed worthy of inclusion areno longer publishing or have failed to make significant

contributions to the genre. The reissued 1001 Midnights,therefore, should be considered an historical referencework.

The Arbor House edition was riddled with typographicalerrors, through no fault of ours. We were not sent galleyproofs prior to publication; instead, we were told thatbecause of the publishers deadline, a professional proof-reader had checked the galleys for errors and our input wasnot necessary. Given the sheer number of errors, it seemsprobable that we were lied to and the galleys were neverchecked at all. (If in fact they were checked, the pro-

fessional proofreader should have been fired for grossincompetence.) For this reissue, we have painstakinglycorrected as many typos as we were able to detect, and alsoremedied a few minor factual errors of the sort thatinvariably creep into a project of this size and scope.

It should also be noted that, all thanks to publisherGeorge A. Vanderburgh, this new edition contains both anauthor index and a title index.
