Return with us to those halcyon days of yesteryear, when writers of pulp fiction made a precarious living-sweating out plot details, trying to make their hackneyed characters seem fresh, working insane hours, often typing until their fingers bled. And usually for just a penny a word. In this collection of articles from vintage writer's magazines, those journeymen scribes explain how-and why-they did it.

And they make fascinating reading, bringing back to life a long-gone phase of American popular culture.
