If I may reply almost 8 years later, I didn't know John Pinkney used to do these sorts of things; good for him! His "Haunted: The Book of Australia's Ghosts" is one of my favorites, and I've read one or two unexplained ones too. I've got a few of those John Pinkney true ghost stories/mysteries - you used to get them quite cheaply in post offices packaged as a set.

I got the print version at a reasonable price online, before I got into Kindle versions. Then the Kindle version was free one day, so got that too.

The good people at the Canberra Museum and Art Gallery are putting on an exhibition of Australian pulp from Graeme Flanagan's collection in August-October: www.cmag.com.au/exhibitions/pulp-fiction. It's a damn shame most of Graeme's collection has been sold, but Graeme's wife, Jill, and I have put together what we can for the exhibition and it should be a pretty good selection of mostly Horwitz paperbacks and some original cover art. I'll post more info as it becomes available - I'll be doing a floor talk, which I'd better start putting together.

Kudos for helping to put this together - it sounds like a lovely tribute to Graeme. Mark

Thanks guys - should be good fun, even if it won't showcase the extent of Graeme's collection.

These are lovely. Have you given your floor talk yet? Hope it goes/ went well. Have just attempted restoration work on this thread but it's bloody difficult. I saved several of the scans when you first uploaded them, but changed the file names for convenience sake and now I don't know where they go! Had more success with the Horrowitz Anthologies (aka 'The Frank Bernier is God' thread') which is now lacking just the two scans.

Floor talk went surprisingly - I was sh**t*ng myself of course, but just pretended I have having a conversation with someone. CMAG produced a dinky little booklet with tanned pages to make it look like a pulp digest:
With a nice tribute to Graeme inside:

I've restored the Larry Kents and added a few more - incidentally, there's an article on "Larry Kent" in the next paperback Fanatic.

You've way more bottle than me! So pleased it went well, James. Jill and yourself have done Graeme proud, so too CMAG in hosting the exhibition and publishing that snazzy looking booklet. Many thanks for replacing the scans. This mausoleum is slowly getting to look a little more like its old self. Agree with Swampirella, the 'Larry Kent' covers are indeed stunning. Particularly like the paintings for Quit Calling, Cutie and Wise Guy.
