Known as one of the longest-running and most successful pulp magazines, Ranch Romances masterfully blended action-packed western adventures with "woman interest" stories. This Second April Number features a classic "lust in the dust" cover, capturing the hardboiled tone that would come to define the genre in the 1950s.

The front cover shows vivid colours but shows some corner damage, and edge tears. The back cover contains toning, and edge wear throughout. The spine is toned and worn but legible.
