Thank You to Our Silent Auction Donors!

Thank You

The auction is closed, but our gratitude goes on!

With the recent release of Pulp Literature Issue 40, Autumn 2023, we’ve just wrapped up our first ten years of bringing you ‘Good books for the price of a beer‘. And now, thanks to your generous support, we are ready to launch the next ten!

In December we ran an online silent auction to help us keep pace with the rising costs of publishing, printing, and shipping. The auction was a success! Thank you to all of our wonderful donors and to all of you who bid on the fabulous prizes.
