While browsing recently I found Darwination Scans, which has a scan of the September 1930 issue of Fight Stories (containing "Waterfront Fists" by REH) for anyone interested in the original pulps. The blog also has a few other scanned pulps, albeit not with any other Howard content so far. The full scan is in .CBR format (which is apparently just another name for a .RAR archive).

.CBR is a RAR-file as you said. Its typically used for scans of comic books (CBR = Comic book RAR-file). There are freeware programs availiable to read the files (without having to extract the images from the rar).
Ive found it interesting to read the stories as REH would have seen them published.

That's a nice blog. I've got a few later editions of Fight Stories ('40s and '50s), but no REH of course. It's interesting to read other writers in the genre for comparison. This type of material just isn't published any more. It's a pity, but I guess the interest in boxing just isn't there these days, and TV has taken over from pulp reading.

Ya know, with all the old pulps being reprinted nowadays, you'd think someone would have done a couple old fight pulps (for variety, if nothing else.)
Have any been reprinted and I just blinked and missed them?
Hell, I'd love it if that September 1930 Fight Stories got done up by, say, Wildside or Adventure House. And with print-on-demand becoming the standard procedure for old pulps, there wouldn't be any worries about crates of unsold copies filling up the warehouse.
