There are many sites on the Web to get more information about Vintage Papebacks, Pulps, cover illustrators and covers. Here are a few links to get you started:
Vintage Paperback Links
"Using search engines and tips from our correspondents, I am trying to maintain the most extensive possible collection of links to sites on the World Wide Web devoted to vintage paperbacks, to be updated at least monthly. Book dealers are listed only if they concentrate on vintage paperbacks or at least maintain them as a sub-specialty. This field is growing like cudsu - the last version of this list had only a few sites, and now look what's happening!" The place to start although this page has not been updated in a long time.
Lynn Munroe BooksLynn is known for his research and well annotated catalogs. He is knowledgable in all areas of Vintage Paperback collecting and is THE expert on 60s and 70s sleaze - knows many of the pseudonyms and variants. His catalogs are now limited to on-line and well worth a look.
Vintage Australian Paperbacks "This website, produced by Graeme Flanagan, author of Australian Vintage Paperback Guide, is devoted to several series of Australian vintage paperbacks, including the long-running Carter Brown and Larry Kent series, as well as the unique and fascinating Phantom Books series. New cover scans will be added on a regular basis." While GGA cover art was uniquely American, other countries knew a good thing when they saw it. Much of it was stolen directly but there are also many original works to be seen.
Paperback Parade "GRYPHON BOOKS The home of: Great 'pulp fiction' Hard-hitting hardboiled crime fiction! excellent bibliographic and reference material! thrilling 'sense of wonder' science fiction! and your Collectable Paperback Headquarters!"
Gary publishes Paperback Parade , the only periodical devoted entirely to Vintage Paperback collecting. He does a great job and if you have even the slightest interest, get a subscription.
Vintage Paperbacks Bruce Brenner states "If you love vintage paperbacks, you have come to the right place. There are over 800 images of paperback books on this website." An easy to navigate site which goes beyond the GGA covers.
The Ace Doubles Collection This site has images of many of the Ace Doubles (and singles) plus much information. If Aces are your passion, this is the place for you.
Book Scans"The goal of the Bookscan Project is to provide a visual catalog of ALL vintage American paperbacks for roughly the first 20 years of paperback-sized books; those printed before 1960 and/or having a 25-cent cover price." An archive of almost 10,000 vintage paperbacks.
Strange Sisters"An archive of vintage lesbian paperbacks" Lots of great images. Take a look.
