Pup reprints and replicasWe’ve put together a listing of some of the small presses that are publishing pulp reprints or replicas. Pulp reprints are books that present the pulp stories in standard anthology format, grouped by author, magazine or theme, and sometimes with original or new illustrations. Pulp replicas, on the other hand, attempt to recreate a particular pulp magazine in paperback format, complete with original cover and interior artwork, and sometimes original advertising.

If you know of a small press that we have left out, please tell us about it.
