The pulp reprint market is actually pretty lively, but
largely invisible to the non-specialist. The best place for
one-stop shopping is The Vintage Library (http://www.vintagelibrary.com/index.cfm).
A search of Bellem turns up four collections dedicated to Dan
Turner, plus appearances in a couple other collections. I can
heartily recommend the Adventure House collection of Turner
stories, published as #60 of "High Adventure" (this pulp
reprint series is so good I subscribe to it).
While shopping at this website, be sure to look at the
"What's On Sale" link; the super collection of Yellow Menace
stories _It's Raining More Corpses In Chinatown_ is on sale
right now. This features stories by hard-boiled authors John
K. Butler, Frank Gruber, Steve Fisher, Frederick Nebel and
others. Don Hutchison's funny and informative introduction
alone is worth the price of the book.
