Kharis2000 Posted May 7, 2011 Report Share Posted May 7, 2011 Way back when, when the pulps were 'live,' the Works Progress Administration came up with all sorts of projects to help get people working - in this case, it was writing city guides to places around the country that told you (in the language of the day) where to go, where not to go, what to do, and what not to do (and a lot more) in locations ranging from New Orleans to New York, to San Francisco. Here's a link to a collection of free PDF versions of some of those city (and, in some cases, state) guides. Hope they'll help you guys out as much as they've helped me! http://www.digitalbookindex.org/_SEARCH/search010histus20fedwriproja.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arc Esu Posted May 12, 2011 Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Re: Pulp Era City Guides I agree. What a great way to present things the way they were seen in that era. Repped! And I vote for a sticky, or at least addition to some kind of "Pulp Hero Resource" thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Long Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Re: Pulp Era City Guides Nice find! I have original copies of a couple of those in my maps and travel guides collection, but it's always useful to have access to more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
