This section of the web site is just sort of an extra added attraction. The truth of the matter is that people who collect vintage paperbacks are usually also interested in early pulp magazines and pre-1939 paper-covered books. It's an important section for those of you who actually read all this tripe on the right side of these index pages of the web site. Vintage paperbacks had their publishing origins in magazines. For example, here you'll see copies of Thrilling Love, Thrilling Western, Thrilling Adventure, Thrilling Wonder Stories, Popular Love, Popular Sports, Popular Western, Detective Novel, and many more of the "Thrilling" lineup of pulp magazines. All were published by Ned Pines, who also started Popular Library. While the rest of the BookScans web site includes scans from contributors, everything here is from my own small, hodgepodge collection. Having said that, I should acknowledge that some of the publications were originally in the collection of Bob Harper, a vintage paperback aficionado from Houston, Texas. How to Read the Magazine Entries: Click an image and look at the web address of the scan to determine its date. The dates will be shown year first. So, for example, "argosy19250110" should be read: 1925, January 10th. "famousfantasticmys194406" was printed: 1944, June. Click on the image in the upper left corner of this page, and find that it was printed 194007: 1940, July. Where known, the year of publication has been added to the image descriptions in the Pulp Books section. Some magazines are obviously non-fiction, but don't believe everything you read!
