Item description from seller

(Pulp Fiction - Detective Magazines) NICK CARTER LIBRARY NO. 151. THE STOLEN RACE-HORSE; OR, NICK CARTER'S GREAT PLAY FOR THE FAIRVIEW STAKES. JUNE 23, 1894; by the Author of "Nick Carter." New York: Street & Smith, Publishers, June 23, 1894. FIRST EDITION. 4to - 11-7/8" x 8-9/16". Staple bound pictorial cheap wood pulp paper self wrappers printed in black with a masthead featuring seven different portraits of "Nick Carter in Various Disguises" and a large drawing of a horse race in mid-action, with the lead horse just having veered off course (literally) and plunging full-speed through the racetrack's fencing, throwing his rider sprawling head-over-heels to front wrapper, and publisher's advertisements to back wrapper, with very minor fraying to the edges and age-tanned paper for what is a very nice copy of what is a rare survival of a 19th century pulp magazine. 16 pp.; with age-tanned pages, most of which remain unopened; one page opened a bit roughly. Nick Carter, the fictional detective, began as a dime novel private eye in 1886. Credit for creating the fictitious character goes to the prolific dime novel author, John R. Coryell, who wrote the original Nick Carter dime novels and pulp magazine stories. Nick Carter Library began publication in 1891. A total of 282 issues were published, with the final issue, No. 282, being published on Dec. 26, 1896. Though Nick Carter Library ceased publication on that date, that would not be the end for Nick Carter, as the character would appear in new magazines, new novels, and even a popular radio show. Nick Carter electronic books are even available from major online retailers today. The condition of the pulp magazine is VERY GOOD. No copies located on OCLC/WorldCat. RARE; especially so in such nice condition.…
