Description

The Art of Pulp Fiction: An Illustrated History of Vintage Paperbacks chronicles the vibrant world of pocket-sized paperbound books from 1940 to 1970. During this period, these affordable books eclipsed cheap pulp magazines and expensive clothbound volumes as the most popular choice for escapist fiction.

With over 500 memorable covers and original cover paintings, this book offers a comprehensive visual history of pulp fiction paperbacks. Edited by Ed Hulse, with contributions from genre specialists and art aficionados, it explores the heyday of these iconic books, including notable authors, artists, publishers, and sub-genres.

Featuring rare and curated images from private collections, this book provides a running commentary on the pulp-fiction paperback genre, along with many obscure but entertaining factoids. With an introduction by Richard A., The Art of Pulp Fiction is a must-have for anyone interested in the history of popular culture and design.
