It\u2019s just a six-foot bookshelf \u2014 stuffed with pulp reference books, reprints and paperbacks, and several boxes on top full of pulps \u2014 on one wall of our home office; two filing cabinet drawers full of pulp fanzines across the room; a framed transcription disc of an old-time radio episode of <em>The Shadow<\/em> hanging on another wall; and a terrific reproduction of <em>The Shadow<\/em> by <strong>Scotty Phillips<\/strong> hanging next to the bookshelf. Other pulp books are on bookshelves scattered throughout the house, plus more are stored away in boxes.<\/p>\n<p>Not an overwhelming sight. But it\u2019s my \u201cpulp lair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now, several of my Arizona pulp friends have quite nice pulp lairs. <strong>Jay Ryan<\/strong> converted his home office into the ultimate <strong>Doc Savage<\/strong> pulp lair. Jay\u2019s Doc room is filled just about everything he mentions in his <em>Collector\u2019s Handbook of Bronze<\/em>. (You get a glimpse of it about 8 minutes, 35 seconds into <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DxWrFRxDCcw\" target=\"_blank\">the Arizona Doc Con 2006 Highlights video<\/a> on YouTube.com.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Courtney Rogers<\/strong> and <strong>Rob Smalley<\/strong> have converted spare bedrooms into pulp lairs, with bookcases of pulps and pulp reprints and pulp-related (of mostly Doc Savage) prints on the walls.<\/p>\n<p>But, getting back to my initial question: \u201cWho has pulp lair?\u201d Do you? Care to share it with other pulp fans? Post a comment or drop me an e-mail.
