The thing is, Baker and Nietzel's book, while a real treat
for P.I. fans, is pretty weak when it comes to pulp eyes, so
it may not mean too much that they're not listed. It
concentrates almost exclusively on P.I.s published in
books.
It's a great book, mind you. It's just too bad there isn't
something similar on pulp eyes. Ron Goulart's entertaining
DIME DETECTIVES is a pretty good starting point, but it
doesn't have any of the ones you listed. Does anyone know of
a good reference source on detectives from the pulps?
