You are about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men's magazines in the swinging 60s. Following the redefinition of US obscenity laws in the late 50s hundreds of men's magazine titles came right out in public, and were openly sold on newsstands all over the world. 'Playboy' and 'Penthouse' started to redefine not just the format but the models and photography. England continued to provides classics such as 'Parade' and 'Spic and Span'; Argentina embraced burlesque; Germany blended political activism with nudity and by 1965 even Australia had a booming men's magazine industry. This volume ends with a look at those great back-of-the-magazine ads for party pills and the first inflatable "dolls". This Taschen publication has 460 pages, 11" x 8½" x 1½" with girls of every size, in every pose, in full colour, from cover to cover.
