Pulp Fiction


Robert Turner - 1948
    The original is a fragile 48 page booklet onpulp stock (of course). In October of 2000, I scanned this to a text file, andleft it at that for a number of years, not knowing what to do with it,but wanting to do something. The rise of the Kindle and (finally!) ofe-books led me to finish the project and make this available to anyoneinterested. Hence the e-book you have here.
