. Have been reading a few issues, shocked by the low prices and high dudgeon evinced by subscribers at price increases of pulps to as much as $3 for a late 1930s
issue. Didn't find it indexed, so this is my take on the index, which i plan to submit to
once it's done. Will post a few articles from it once I'm done indexing.
Part 1 covers the first 22 issues.
