Shudder Pulps: A History of the Weird Menace Magazines of the 1930s by Jones, Robert Kenneth - 1975-06-01

West Linn, Oregon: FAX Collector's Editions, 1975-06-01. First Edition. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition (stated on last page) of a print run of only 2000 hardcovers published for collectors. It seems like everything old is new again, with the weird menace pulp magazines of the 1930s being more than rivaled by zombies, vampires and weird science video today. The Shudder Pulps takes you back to the publishing world of the 30s and presents a terrific history of the rise and fall of this bizarre genre. Book is faintly shelfworn at extremities (slight loss of color to crimson boards) and the dustwrapper has some small chips at the folds and spine ends. A very attractive copy. All of our first editions are first printings unless otherwise noted. Dustwrappers are protected with clear archival wraps and we pack each book like it's a Tiffany egg.
