Publisher Ralph Ginsburg went to jail on obscenity charges over the material published in this quarterly, and the magazine ended with its 4th issue. Inside this copy, are poignant black-and-white candid photos of MM by Bert Stern, but also an illustrated essay on 1900s French nude postcards, a condensed version of the notorious "FANNY HILL", the Brothel in Art and much, more. This 96-page copy is very good internally - clean, bright, unmarked/unstaiined. The hardcover is worn along its edges; bumped corners and wear to top & bottom spine. One of the photos on the front cover has white streaks, but the orange marks were made by the photographer on the contact sheets. The magbook is fully intact - a souvenir of the time right before The Swingin' Sixties and 60+y years prior to now legal, full nudity on mainstream TV & movies. This book will be sent, carefully packed, with tracking. See less
