Earlier this year, the revised third edition of Bookery’s Guide to Pulps & Related Magazines<\/em> by Tim Cottrill<\/a><\/strong> came out from Murania Press<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Bookery's<\/a>The first edition came out in 2005, which was actually an update of The Ultimate Guide to the Pulps<\/a><\/em> from 2001, and the second edition came out in 2020 from Ivy Press<\/a> and was reviewed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tim Cottrill owns a book\/collectibles store called Bookery Fantasy<\/a> in Ohio, hence the name.<\/p>\n

This edition was edited by Murania Press publisher Ed Hulse<\/a><\/strong>, who also provided the introduction.<\/p>\n

Like the prior edition, we get listings of pulps, which includes the publisher, number of issues, and usually some info on the pulp itself; we get notes on major authors\/artists in many of the issues, and good introductory information.<\/p>\n

The introductory article from Hulse goes into what pulp magazines are and how they were constructed, as well as giving an overall history of the magazines from their creation to their replacement by other forms of entertainment, such as paperbacks, men’s adventure magazines, digest magazines, and the like. We then get into a section which covers “what are pulps?”, their influence, grading, and pricing. We get a breakdown of genres and a list of publishers, including their variants. Terms and abbreviations are given.<\/p>\n

Unlike the prior edition, we don’t get a section of pulp covers, which I would have liked to see. But it’s easier to see pulp covers today, so maybe that’s why they were left out.<\/p>\n

Wrapping things up, we get several pages with listings of authors and artists, with most getting a sentence or two, and some getting a whole paragraph. There is then a bibliography of source material. I have to note that several items here are available in newer editions. As usual, I took a look to see if there are other books I should get.<\/p>\n

The guide is rounded out with several full-page ads from auction houses and dealers.<\/p>\n

Like the previous edition, this one is another good reference work. It will go on my reference shelf. Check it out, especially if you missed out on the previous edition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
