DAW SF List

Cover scans and information are from my own collection. Please excuse any cat fur ;). Click on cover thumbnails to open a full-size image.

When available, titles link to my notes of the book while authors and cover artists link to biographical/bibliographical notes.

DAW had two ID systems and didn't consistently print numbers on the covers of all books, so book IDs that start with a letter and don't have a second ID are at the end of this list.

A number of DAW books have frontispiece line art drawings that aren't credited in the frontmatter but which are usually initialled JG. These pieces are by Jack Gaughan, who illustrated and painted widely for a number of science fiction books and magazines throughout his career.
