About BookCove

BookCove is a collection of stories from the pulp magazines of the 1910s through 1930, transcribed and made freely available as EPUB, online reading, and plain text. It is an independent, ad-free project run by a small group of volunteers.

How these texts were made

Each story is transcribed from scans of a magazine issue, then checked against the page images and proofread. The author’s spelling, dialect, and punctuation are kept as printed; only clear printer’s errors are corrected.

Each story’s page says which magazine issue it was transcribed from. That is not always where the story first appeared, since some stories were reprinted, and the date shown is the date of the issue used.
