First, please be aware that ThePulp.Net is not affiliated in any way with any of the sites linked from this page, nor are these sources paying to be listed here, nor do we vouch for the quality of service you might receive from them.
We’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.
