DESCRIPTION:
The volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable ?dates?. The definitive annotated and illustrated history of girlie periodicals (1958-1967) Volume III begins with an explosion of new American men's magazines following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late fifties. By 1965 even Australia has a booming men's magazine industry. We examine the enormous impact of Playboy, not only on American titles, but on magazines worldwide. This is the decade when France finally declines as a great force in magazine production; England starts to show her pervy side; Argentina embraces burlesque; and Germany once again blends political activism with nudity. The History of Men's Magazines, Volume III contains over 400 full color pages of vintage covers and interiors and a well-researched text profiling quirky publishers and artists, individual magazines, and the place of it all in the Swinging Sixties culture.

I was so aggravated because I was already sending back a few other products to amazon that I was not happy withso I just put the books on my library shelf, never to really open them again as of yet, because I really feel cheated out of
