You're a great, witty, funny guy, Jeff. And a blast to hang out with I'm sure. You don't need a book nor pay stub to tell you that.

Thanks Brian!

I grabbed a copy of this after seeing your tweet. It's not what I expected, which is 100% no me because it's exactly what the description says.

Regardless, a very neat little book.

Whenever I handle this thing, I'm so pleased that I have a copy of it. I mean, Kolchak + Matheson = cool x 1000.

Love the cover on that book!

Yeah, it’s a great book. I have a couple-dozen nonfiction books that explore the pulp era, and this is one of my favorites.

I would love to find a book devoted to (that chronicles) the history of the old men's magazines like Wink (the pre-Playboy era) if you know what I mean.

I haven't run across much analysis of that particular pulp niche, but I do have one that might be along the line of what you're looking for...

UNCOVERED, The Hidden Art of the Girlie Pulps, by Douglas Ellis. Adventure House, 2003, oversized HC. It's a fantastic collection, though text/history does take a fairly sizeable backseat to the full-color art...not a bad thing and there is some history included, but do be aware it's more an art book than a history analysis of this pulp niche.

I once had a small book focusing on the work of one artist from that general era which I enjoyed, but I did not keep that book. Thanks for posting this Ron--I really do appreciate it, I am looking for something more history oriented. I'm not surprised there appears on the surface to not be much printed history about these magazines. Cap

No sweat, Cap -- glad to help. Hope you find the kind of book you're looking for.
