CORRECTED in this version 2:

1) I discovered antialiasing and used this to smooth out all letters on the cover

2) In the pulps (I used to own thousands of them), the first few capital letters in a word(s) signified a break in the text. This was done for many reasons, most notably to break up the gray text into segments; but also, to signify time and scene breaks. (I've read a number of Ph.D Dissertations on the signifcance of breaks in a text.) Following that example, I hit the enter key where all capital letters occur within the text, thus retaining the time/scene breaks as the stories were originally printed in these old pulps.

3) A couple of typos. More will be discovered, of course.

PLEASE Download Version 2.

Now to the boring matter below:

Tired of the mundane? Tired of all the rants , ravings, and ramblings that fill our lives?

Then come with me and take a walk along those dark alleys where crime flourished..at least for a time.

I've assembled 10 stories of detection and mystery from the old days of the pulps, when entertainment meant something.

Like all the books I assemble on MobileRead, this too was assembled to reflect human intervention and artistic judgment.

I hope you enjoy it. I know I did!

NOTE: This is my 400 book I've assembled. Wait 'til I tell you about the next 400 !!!!
