Publisher:Airmont Books

This page is the wiki-page for the publisher or imprint Airmont Books. This page may be used for extended notes about the publisher, including alternate names, changes of ownership, associated imprints, locations, etc. The link above leads to the ISFDB publisher record for Airmont Books.

This is a listing of Airmont classics, as best as we have been able to discover. Those which are listed by us as speculative fiction are in bold. Each of these books are indicated by a "CL" catalog number. For example, "Frankenstein" would be listed as "Airmont Classics CL19" or (by some book dealers) as "Airmont Classics CL-19". The publication series Airmont Classics includes only these titles. A few have not yet been entered into the ISFDB, because this editor is unconvinced that they are speculative fiction, even though we have some editions of such books entered (specifically: "Robin Hood", "Kim", and "Hans Brinker, or The Silver Skates"). I am still entering the books after #100.

As of March 2019, strikeout works are not in the database. Some others on the list are in the database as of March 2019: "The Scarlet Letter", "The House of Seven Gables", "Moby Dick" (as non-genre, no publications), "The Master of Ballantrae"; "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" (non-genre, in the database with all fiction by ACD), "(The) Iliad"; "The Pilgrim's Progress". --maybe incomplete, each confirmed --Pwendt|talk 21:20, 14 March 2019 (EDT)

The missing issues at the end, CL 203, 205, 206, and 207, almost certainly do not exist. We have been unable to find any copies of them via WorldCat, Google, Abebooks, bookfinder.com, or an Airmont collector's site. It is not uncommon for a series, near the end of its life, to have various editions planned, and numbers assigned, but to have only some of them come to completion.

Airmont also published a Science Fiction series. These consisted of paperback editions of hard cover SF books published by Avalon press (which owned Airmont). The known titles in this series are:

1. SF1 The Memory Bank, by Wallace West
2. SF2 Tower of Zanid, by L. Sprague de Camp
3. SF3 Lords of Atlantis, by Wallace West
4. SF4 Invaders from Rigel, by Fletcher Pratt
5. SF5 Day of the Giants, by Lester del Rey
6. SF6 Hidden World, by Stanton A. Coblentz
7. SF7 Conquest of Earth, by Manly Banister
8. SF8 The Duplicated Man, by James Blish and Robert Lowndes

Covers of many of the books that we do not have in the ISFDB are available at BookScans.

Other series by Airmont, without speculative content, include:

• A "teen romance" series, indicated by "C", e.g. "C6" instead of "CL6". As such, these books are sometimes confused with the Airmont Classics.
• A regular romance series, with known titles from R1 to R35.
• A mystery series, with titles known from M1 to M6.
• A nurse series (?), with one known title: "Clinic Nurse", N10.
• A western series, with titles known from W1 through W11.
