TOPMAN ¶ Online Writings by and about John Preston

Mr. Benson is Advertised . . . Again and Again

This page includes an erotic image.

Mr. Benson was first advertised in book form by Alternate Publishing (the publisher of Drummer) at Christmastime in 1979, before the novel had even finished being serialized. A series of printers refused to handle the book, which was not released until 1983. By that time, the byline for the book had changed from Jack Prescott to John Preston.
