This review is from: Cheap thrills;: An informal history of the pulp magazines (Hardcover)

Goulart modestly subtitles this book "an informal history," however it's fairly overarching in its treatment of pulp magazines. It serves as a primer for pulp fiction/magazine/author research. Goulart focuses on authors and genres other than mere cutting and pasting of original pulp writings as some others have done. He also knows how to write, making this an entertaining as well as important book.
