<<The word "pulp" is used throughout the article," but
(if the article is compehensive) he had early paperbacks and
digests. The term "dime novel" went through a similar
watering down early in this century--from meaning a specific
type of publication to a pharse for any type of cheap
fiction.>>
I think this started when the term "pulp fiction" was coined.
Tarantino helped make this a household word (well, not quite,
but he gave it visibility). I've even heard Willeford called
a "pulp writer"! Is it possible that people are unaware of
the literal meaning of "pulp"?
