What the glory years of pulp magazines had to offer
The colorfully covered, cheaply printed pulp magazine of the 1920s and 30s great out of the 19th-century dime novel and served as the forerunner of the comic books and paperback novels of today. In its heyday, pulp magazines were a staple of popular culture that offered every genre of readership the thrills, adventures, and entertainments they craved -- often to the dismay of parents, teachers, and clergy! Virtually creating the now popular literary genres as science fiction and the hard-boiled private eye mystery, these magazines were the incubators of such American literary talents as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Raymond Chandler, James M. Cain, Dashiell Hammett, and a legion of others. An outstanding recommendation for personal, academic, and community library collections, The Classic Era Of American Pulp Magazines tells the complete story of these colorful pulps and those that wrote and published them, with a wealth of colorful cover art giving today's readers an accurate sense and taste of what the glory years of pulp magazines had to offer their enthusiastic readers.

Of limited value
Peter Haining has published a huge number of volumes on a variety of topics, which tend to be both well illustrated and very carelessly researched.This latest addition to the stackunfortunately follows that pattern. Eye Candy
Obviously the politically incorrect covers are the first attraction.You can't ignore the cultural significance of the covers and thus, if you are a teacher of semiotics or visual interpretation, I can't think of a richer source.Congrats to the publishers for printing such a glorious book. For those more interested in what's between the covers, Haining gives insightful critical analysis of the different genres.A great gift for anyone;a wonderful coffee table book for yourself.It's worth every penny. ...

the best book ever!
I am an artist with a keen interest in psychedelic art, and found this book a very useful reference guide. unfortunately i lent to to a freind who tore most of the pages out. in W.A. i cannot get it anywhere so I thank youamazon for having it amongst your titles!

A pretty good book.
I've been a big fan of Greg's art directing work (in both Cleveland and Florida) for many years and he certainly didn't disappoint here. Given the horrible vagaries of the book business in general, I, for one, am glad thisbook exists. (And, he did "fair use" for most of the images,which is cool.) ... Read more

Great Coca-Cola Guide Book!
This was a very helpful and informative guide to Coca-Cola collectibles.I would highly recommend it to any serious collector.Full of valuable information.

B.J. Summers' Guide to Coca-Cola
We have quite a few old Coke signs and none were in this guide.We were disappointed to say the least.

Good as a companion to Petretti's
Pros: Extensive selection of signs and cardboard items with lots of nice colour photos throughout. Many items in this book aren't in Petrettis, so it makes a good companion. All up I am happy with this book and use it regularly to price and check items.
