What this Website is about

This website is devoted to paperbacks published by Dell in the 1940s and 1950s. They were published on inexpensive "pulp" paper, and had striking cover art by some iconic cover artists of the era. On the back cover, most of them had a map or other illustration depicting settings and locations in the book, which is why collectors and readers call them "mapbacks."
