I read like a book

Some girlie mags I picked up, love the marionette cover, just a tiny bit unsettling.   Not sure if these get stored in my magazine box or under a mattress.  

And the old levi coat. Not nearly as cool as the other one one posted, but I'm fond of it.

The fact that you still have it is amazing. GOD BLESS....

Rough shape, but nice book.  Listed as scarce by bookery.

Prize Air Pilot Stories was a short-lived pulp, running three issues from November 1929 through March 1930, before being renamed Fighting Air Pilot Stories for one issue dated June 1930. I'd seen the last three issues before, but had never spotted the first issue.

 

At last weekend's Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention, I managed to find (and buy) the first issue. It turns out it's a small (roughly 4.25" x 6.5"), 8 page ashcan. It contains one story, "Lost War-Birds" by Edmund Ingersoll Leeds, Jr.

Lindbergh was so famous they didn't even need to put his name on the cover.

Finally won a few more of these after being shut out by exuberant bidders over the last couple of months.

This one has stories by both Ellison and Robert Silverberg under their true names, which is pretty rare for this timeframe. Cover art by M.E. Sherwood

A couple more with Sherwood covers and tough writers.

 

This one is as hardboiled as it gets. Cover art by Carl Pfeuffer, who always went the extra step of crazy

I picked up this ashcan issue of Modern Detective at the Windy City Pulp and Paper Convention last weekend. Dated August 1934 (v1n1), this copy was received by the Library of Congress on June 18,1934. It was published by The Lans Publishing Co., Publishers, in Mount Morris, IL. Thomas H. Dyson was both editor and President.

The ashcan is small, only 36 pages, most of which is devoted to "Murder on the Gold Coast" by former Weird Tales editor Edwin Baird. I don't know if this was a retitled reprint of an earlier Baird story. The last two pages are an editorial, "Who Reads Detective Stories."

I believe that Modern Detective was intended to be a pulp, but it never appeared on the newsstand. Nor does The Lans Publishing Co. appear to have ever published anything else.

A $2 book for a dime?  Now that's a deal!

That's an unusual cover. The dame is torturing a dude, while her accomplice is ready with the gun to stop the unseen person breaking through the skylight, who would appear to be the rescuing hero, if there is one.

Haven't read it yet, but my guess is she's helping remove a bullet from our brave hero, and he had them secure him to the table so she could perform the operation

Or he swallowed her house key on a dare and she isn't about to miss tonight's episode of Ozzie and Harriet.

Windy City buys a few boardies like this cover so do i

We've had a few "imagine if this was a comic" comments on pulps.  For variety, here are a couple of digests that I got cheap today that qualify as "imagine if these were pulps" books.

So went back to the bookstore and got a few more items from the collection they just got in, since I got my check today.  First up:  Both issues of the Avon Science Fiction and Fantasy Reader.  Sadly, it's not as well loved a title as the separate SF and Fantasy Readers.  Still good for filling out the collection, I still need three of the Fantasy Readers and two of the SF Readers.

[OtherEric]

And the bigger books:  an issue of FSF with a Cornell Woolrich story to go with the Fantastic I got yesterday, and the first issue of Fantastic.

This first issue of Fantastic with a cover by Barye Phillips is one of the most under appreciated books, IMO.

Couple of decent pickups from Collector's Summit. What a great show!!! Totally unique and entertaining. Had a blast and truly enjoyed meeting boardies I've conversed with for years, in person. The trading tables and dealer booths were epic. Saw a lot of great books and saw some serious deals go down. I hope it's the beginning of a tradition. Enjoy the pics!!!

Those are gory above👍‼️
