gallery: Pop music pulp paperbacks

Not only do we collect the highest forms of musical prowess mankind is capable of, in all formats, but also the really important stuff! Like this load of pulp paperbacks featuring not quite books about musicians or critical analysis, but those offering musical themes, rumors, non-autobios authored by musicians or merely the basis for a band or song name. More bookish fun at B.George’s collection of French girl pulp paperbacks, Oui Oui Pulp.
