| Horwitz Publications, Pulp Fiction and the Rise of the Australian Paperback This is the first book-length study of Sydney-based Horwitz Publications, the largest and most dynamic Australian pulp publisher to emerge after World War II. Although best known for its cheaply produced, sometimes luridly packaged, softcover books, Horwitz Publications played a far larger role in mainstream Australian publishing than has been so far recognised, particularly in the expansion of the paperback from the late 1950s onwards. Andrew Nette has a PhD from Macquarie University and is an author of fiction and non-fiction. |
