THE DIME NOVEL COMPANION, o.o.p., J. Randolph Cox

Westport, Connecticut: Greenwood Press, 2000. First edition (stated). Hardcover in dark green cloth. The late Randy Cox was an indefatigable fan and researcher of dime novels and nickel weeklies of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. While he wrote several books and innumerable articles on vintage pop culture, this book is his magnum opus. Taking the form of an encyclopedia, Dime Novel Companion is the last word in scholarship on these often-lurid publications. It briefly covers every significant author, editor, publisher, and publishing company in the business. It also documents the periodicals themselves, with data on number of issues, format changes, and principal characters. In short, this is an indispensable one-volume source on the subject. Long out of print. Condition: As New, unread copy.
