Captures the great era of men's magazines. It includes fetish master Irving Klaw, Elmar Batters own leg fetish, the speciality magazines of England, and concludes with Sweden and Denmark's emergence as the new powers in European sex publishing. Everyone was publishing lovely bare breasted ladies with silky stockings in every position imaginable. Titles such as Highball, Sizzle, Lace Undies, Nymph, French Lace, Black Silk Stockings, Solo, Touch, High Heels and many more hit the newsstands. Back in New York, Irving Klaw introduced fetish digests in the same specialty bookstores, leading to a '60s fetish boom, with Lenny Burtman's High Heels, Satana, Striparama, and Leg Show. The photos had a rawness showing the older models with that look of experience, openness and control. Many could be the woman next door caught just as the reader dreamt. See pre-Playboy burlesque titles, featuring big hair, heavy make-up, cigarettes, and cocktails, but in west coast mid-century settings with better photography, paper, and printing. Contains over 400 colour pages of magazine covers and interiors with well-researched text profiling important publishers and artists, individual magazines, and specialty magazine categories. 458 pages, 11" x 8" x 2", this thick volume has a tactile blue snakeskin jacket, hundreds of glam models in erotic colour photos. Text in English, German and French.
