Real pulp fiction magazines and books are in my focus these days. Philip K Dick, like many many other authors of Sci-fi novels and short stories, published a bunch of works in those cheap publications. From 50′s to 60′s (for now), I’d located several of them, in great titles like Galaxy, If, Wonder Stories, Amazing Stories, and many more.

These little books are old, very old, cheap paper with rusty and hard smell… Old paper, humidity, bacteries…. All of this will be removed, with luck, when I receive a little ozonizer!!! Will post the results… Meanwhile, I love to collect these little jewels of the past. Inside, aside of PKD stories, are plenty of other interesting authors too: Arthur C Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Robert Bloch, no name a few.

It depicts the life of FW Wolworth. It’s not difficult to locate a copy. Try Abebooks, for instance.

Muy raro de localizar (¡sólo inténtalo!), he tenido la suerte de localizar una copia en ebay.
