DIME NOVELS Some one was asking about Dime Novels this morning. Here's some info I found in some searches:
In 1860 Irwin P. Beadle & Company became the first American publisher to issue paperback fiction in a series at the fixed price of ten cents a volume. The first dime novels were largely Indian and pioneer tales that were highly nationalistic in spirit.
In the 1870s detective adventures, society romances, and rags-to-riches stories were introduced and soon the term dime novel was popularly applied to any sensational, blood-and-thunder novel issued in pamphlet form. Through copyright deposit the Library of Congress has accumulated a dime novel collection of nearly forty thousand titles from 280 different series. The prolific publishing houses of Beadle & Adams, Frank Tousey, and Street & Smith are well represented. The collection also contains serially published songbooks, jokebooks, and handbooks and issues of the popular reprint libraries that specialized in unauthorized editions of foreign novels and stories before the passage of the International Copyright Act in 1891.
And here are some examples of prices at a place that sells them:
Pluck and Luck No. 295 - The Gray House on the Rock; or, The Ghosts of Ballentyne Hall, by Jas. C. Merritt, Jan. 27, 1904, complete, fa; $5.00 Pluck and Luck No. 525 - The White Boy Chief; or, The Terror of the North Platte, by an Old Scout, June 24, 1908, complete, fa, back cover poor, detached; $5.00
Pluck and Luck No. 528 - Driven Adrift; or, The Trip of the Daisy, by Capt. Tho's H. Wilson, July 15, 1908, complete, fa, cover taped; $5.00 Pluck and Luck No. 619 - Boss of the Boat Club; or, Dick Dashwell's School Days, by Howard Austin, April 13, 1910, complete, fa, cover taped; $5.00
Pluck and Luck No. 639 - Bob the Bell Boy; or, Working "Front" in a Big Hotel, by Jas. C. Merritt, Aug. 31, 1910, complete, fa, piece missing front cover; $5.00

There are collectors of these and they are willing to bid on them, obviously. Most of it has to do with the titles and what it deals with: sports, westerns, etc.
