The Stud is the second novel by British novelist Jackie Collins, published in 1969 by W. H. Allen & Co. with jacket photography by Lewis Morley. The names of the central characters in the first edition were changed in later editions following the release of the film adaptation. For example, the titular "stud" Tony Burg was renamed Tony Blake, and the character Fontaine Khaled was originally named Fontaine Damon. The novel was edited in later editions to make it appear more contemporary. Collins also re-wrote the book, re-issuing it as an e-book, along with its follow-up, The Bitch.
