The Pulps: A Yearly Guide by Jess Nevins
Much has been written about the pulps, the medium of popular fiction which began in 1896. And yet, despite the number of books and essays written about the pulps, and despite the current enthusiasm for some of the genres of literature which appeared in the pulps, a great deal of information about the pulps remains obscure, and a number of seemingly obvious questions remain unanswered–or worse, answered with misleading or inaccurate information.

What were the most popular genres in the pulps? What were the most significant pulp magazines? How many pulps were published? When were the pulps’ heyday? When did the pulps decline? How did the pulps compare to the dime novels, and when did the pulps supplant the dime novels?

I’ve attempted to answer these questions and provide accurate information on the pulps in THE PULPS. I’ve gathered together a substantial amount of numerical information never before brought together and presented it, and with that information set out the true history of the pulps, rather than the received wisdom about them.
