The literary quality was so poor that they read like summaries or outlines of plots with very little characterization and style.<br /><br />On the other hand, I've always been very interested in the history of dime novels. I have most of the reference books including Randy Cox's book on the dime novel and the big 3 volume history of Beadle and Adams. I've also been a subscriber to the DIME NOVEL ROUND UP since the 1970's and I have all the hundreds of back issues going back to the 1930's when Reckless Ralph Cummings was editor.<br /><br />One funny thing about THE ROUND UP. When I first joined almost 50 years ago I was assigned a subscriber number of number 300 and something. So was Digges La Touche who joined around the same time. This is a number that you keep and as the years marched on and subscribers died or lost interest, then your number advances and gets lower and lower.<br /><br />Well now Digges in number 7 and I'm number 13. How did he get so much lower than me. I demand an investigation into this miscarriage of justice! Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
