Scuffed laminate has been removed from front and back cover and jacket is bright and clean, with minor scuffing. Profusely illustrated in colour & b/w. ; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 144 pages; From Kirkus Reviews: What do Sam Spade, Doc Savage, Tarzan, and the Shadow have in common? The same thing as Raymond Chandler, Isaac Asimov, Cornell Woolrich, and H. P. Lovecraft: They all cut their teeth on the pulps--which are accorded a magnificently illustrated, authoritative homage here by Brooklyn-based writer Server....Server organizes his unwieldy subject into categories of pulps: adventure, romance and sex, horror and fantasy, private eye, weird menace, science fiction. Each receives a lively capsule history that covers trends, reader (and sometimes, as in the case of the ``Spicys, '' government) response, and writers' bios--which, though sketchy (Hammett's Hollywood experience gets one sentence) , resurrect a number of relatively obscure but seminal and fascinating figures..... (890), Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
