Just picked up a book in the bookstore called Operation Red Jericho.

 

It's a Young Adult book set in the 1920s and really reads like a pulp adventure. More than that, the book has a secret organization, villains, and TONS of pictures from the era, diagrams of the Q ship that the protagonists find themselves on, diagrams of the hidden guns on the ship, maps, postcard, advertisements, interesting pseudo science and real science, drawings of the other secret organization, historical anecdotes, newspaper clippings throughout the book and lots more in the Appendices.

 

Not only can you crib NPCs and plot ideas from this, you can scan/photocopy the various sidebar articles / diagrams / images as handouts for you pulp campaign.

 

Plus, it may be a good way to introduce gaming to the younger crowd, haha!:eg:

 

Look at these links to find out more:

woohoo' date=' found the other two books by the same publisher![/quote']

 

Excellent books with very very good diagrams.

 

I splurged and bought two sets. One to read and put on the shelf. And one to go under the knife for play aids :sneaky:
