Vintage Book Cover Posters

Vintage Book Cover Posters for classic pulp fiction and dime novels from the 1950s and earlier provide a colorful example of popular culture and Americana. Such covers often featured lurid images of bad girls and femme fatales. Pulp fiction derived its name from its being published on the cheapest wood pulp paper. The term "dime novel" originated from the 19th century, but was used to refer to cheap popular fiction books until the 1940s. Pulp fiction book covers were often designed first, with the novels then written to fit the covers. Click any thumbnail to view a larger version or make a purchase.
