I was so focused on the other issue that I overlooked this, per PM!

Yes I noticed that Rick changed the header, (in your best Bishop voice) “E.T.A., 60 minutes”...

So to get things started, I’ve already discussed these with Tim and they are just suggestions for his consideration: —Amazing Stories, Jan 1934... add that “Doc” Smith’s Triplanetary begins (ends Apr ‘34), the story would later be re-worked by the author as a Lensman prequel. —Horror Stories, March 1935... add classic cover (by Charles Wrenn) designation, correct that the vampire is peering down on the captive female (his reflection is in the water) as she glances up at him in terror. —Horror Stories, Apr-May 1938... add classic cover artist is John Drew, add bare-breasted female is being manhandled in the background as the next victim. Has to be a lot of other tidbits out there, looking forward to what others have to offer...

No idea - I have the Larson BR 12 and BR 14, wanted a BR 13 to fill the gap but the lower grade Cosmic Aeroplane was the best I could find at the time.

Hi Jeff, sorry to hear about the continued health issues - you’ve certainly been through a lot. Never heard nor seen these oddball books before, nor heard mention of Hanks doing the artwork. Very cool though!

BR 13 sports such a classic cover, it’s a great book - I have the Cosmic Aeroplane copy and it is lower grade.

This new pulp guide has proven invaluable - if pulp collecting continues to grow (and I think it will), I hope Tim/Heritage will be able to update it more frequently than we’ve seen in the past (a ton of work, I know!). With that thought in mind, there are some very seasoned and knowledgeable collectors out there who can help with data points. I don’t know if Tim prefers postings here or PM’s, and of course there’s only so much that can be crammed into one book, but establishing Bookery with pulps as Overstreet is with comics seems a natural evolution to me.

Doesn’t matter much to me if Ducks are a good investment or not, I enjoy owning them. FC 29 is my hands down all-time favorite Duck book, so I sprung for this raw mid-grade back in January... and am very happy I did (near white pages, too).

It is the reworking, I’ll have to read them both to compare - thanks!

Nice Pat! Is that a collection of the original series or of the Lensman re-working?

Wrapping up then, it’s been a good week for collecting pulps... a very good week.

So I added two more issues of Amazing Stories to the 1/34 issue that I previously posted. Covers by Leo Morey who drafted the classic Centaur ‘Fantom of the Fair’ cover for Amazing Mystery Funnies 2/10. I’m especially interested in the Triplanetary series here because “Doc” Smith later re-worked it as a Lensman prequel. Good stuff.

Very nice set of books, congrat’s!

My first Conan cover Weird Tales (12/35), not high grade but that’s OK because I’m going to read it - Robert E. Howard’s famed The Hour of the Dragon begins in this issue. Nice pages, too.

The covers on those Horror Stories pulps are really something - can you imagine the cost if those were comic books?

April 17-19, their website said it’s still a go (but that may change of course). Wish I was going...

I like that cover Eric, what year is that?

Is Hubbard really actively collected? Personally I have zero interest in anything he did.

Superb book, Billy - no wonder you parted with the 5.0 undercopy.

Thanks - cover artist is John Drew, I believe.

To wrap things up, here’s one final book, an earlier (1927) Weird Tales with an HP Lovecraft story, The White Ship. Hope you enjoyed the show, I certainly did.
