It may not be a "proper" pulp, but they certainly have some good stuff there. And the way of leafing through the pages is great! An issue of the old Startling Stories caught my eye... though it's actually just the British edition, with about half as many pages as the US original. Those UK-printed magazines do have one advantage, though - our printers used a less "pulpy" paper for the interior pages, so they're probably outlasting the fuller versions.

Ah, the Year 2000, and beyond. It's easy for us, sitting comfortably at home, to forget the people in the new cities on Luna, or our Martian colonies... or indeed the brave workers mining the asteroid belt. Without their boldness and can-do adventurous attitude, where would we be...?

The collections of old magazines here are really endless(with 4,900 titles). Although IF lacks big name authors and high quality stories, it's still a good read. Advertisements are almost non-existent in these old magazines. I though I would be able to leaf through one in a few hours, but these things are chalk full of material. Since I last checked up on the Pulp Archive, it looks as though they added allot more from the Amazing Stories line.

I know that they have the entire collection of IF's roughly 20+ year span, but even better is Galaxy Magazine(All 30 years of it!), with some of the top authors in the genre, as well as some others that were top notch, but have since been forgotten, as a lot of them wrote mostly shorts. I started reading Galaxy after listening to X-Minus-One on my phone, which pulled many of it's stories from Galaxy and Astounding S.F. (allot of these issues are there too).

Here's a link to all of the Galaxy issues. (for some reason they don't all always show up, unless you mess around with the "sort by" settings at the top).

They also have X-Minus-One available too:

It can be seriously weird listening to these, they kept all the old commercials with it. There was one were they were comparing tube and solid state? TV sets, the best commercial though is the one for pabst blue ribbon "It's Purr-fect!" I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard, all I could think about was South Park.
