Since May 1, we’ve had an announcement about this year’s PulpFest three days each week. Starting next week, we’ll have a post every weekday — Monday through Friday — with an occasional weekend post. We’ll be maintaining this pace through August 7, the day after the 2023 convention ends.
In future posts, we’ll discuss our PulpFest 2023 dealers, highlights from this year’s issue of The Pulpster, take a look at new books premiering at PulpFest, and more.
And don’t forget to visit our auction page. In addition to over 150 lots consigned by the Joecks Estate and Scott and Linda Edwards of Dearly Departed Books, we’re adding member submissions to our online bidding page. Check out lot #93, an exceedingly scarce ink stamp pulp premium from “The Shadow Club.” Offered through The Shadow Magazine for just a few months, these rarely come up for sale.
