Hot off the presses -- literally!
I've just received my shipment of the long-awaited
BLOOD 'N' THUNDER GUIDE TO COLLECTING PULPS,
a book I hope will become an indispensable reference work
for anybody with even the slightest interest in pulp
magazines. In case you haven't heard, this isn't
a price guide; it's a novel-length (74,000 words) study
of the field, geared toward the specific requirements
of collectors. In chapters covering the major pulp
genres -- general adventure, mystery/detective, western,
hero, science fiction/fantasy, weird menace, etc. -- we
enumerate the major titles, make our case for their
significance, and highlight specific issues, authors,
and stories worth collecting.
This 232-page trade paperback, printed in the standard
pulp format of seven by ten inches with two columns of
text per page, also includes two Appendixes, one listing
BnT's picks for the most noteworthy books about pulps and
the other offering a list of the titles and issues that
would comprise a well-rounded pulp collection. The text
is accompanied by more than 400 scans of pulp covers,
many of which have never been reproduced.
For the foreseeable future the GUIDE will be available
exclusively from me. The book's price is $19.95 plus $5.00
for shipping and handling. I accept Paypal, checks, and
money orders. For further information, contact me at
bnteditor@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or just send payment to: Ed Hulse,
2467 Route 10 East, Bldg. 15, Apt. 4B, Morris Plains, NJ 07950.
Pre-ordered books have now all been shipped, so those who paid
in advance should look for their copies in just a few days!
