I've got all 8 of the 1990s Carroll & Graf reprints.
From wikipedia: "In the early 1990s, Carroll & Graf Publishers began issuing a series of eight mass-market Spider paperbacks, each one in a double-novel format. All used original Spider pulp magazine artwork for their covers. These 16 novels became the longest running Spider reprint series done for the mass-market paperback book market."
Darnit, Bill. You're making me want to read these straight away. No time! And already in the middle of Felix Gilman's THE REVOLUTIONS, which is an enjoyable throwback to the sf of yesteryear (a kind of ERB pastiche). :)
I have those editions, too. If you read one of them, you'll either want to read all the others immediately, or you'll wish you hadn't read one. THE REVOLUTIONS sounds like fun.

Nice! I was scooping these up during my infamous bookstore runs back in the day. Have sadly yet to read them.
But now I can repeat that have-it-but-haven't-read-it experience on the Kindle. For free!
:)
These are the wildest and craziest stories of the pulp era. I always enjoy The Spider.
