Product Description

Review

"Separation is great, as long as the separation is of my thighs." - Adults Only"


Product Description

Open your notebooks, sharpen your pencils, and get ready for a history lesson like none you've ever experienced. You're about to learn everything you could ever want to know about the world history of men's magazines - not magazines about sports, not fashion, not hunting or fishing or how to build a birdhouse in ten easy steps, but those titillating periodicals embracing the subject dearest to all heterosexual men's hearts and other body parts: the undraped female form. Former men's magazine editor Dian Hanson traces its development from 1900 to 1980 in six massive and informative volumes. As Volumes 3 and 4 covered different aspects of the 1960s, Volumes 5 and 6 showcase the two sides of 1970s men's magazines. In Volume 5 we explore newsstand magazines gathered from around the world. See the effects of the Sexual Revolution in Germany, England, France, North and South America, Japan, Hong Kong, and Italy. Read profiles of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and Screw's Al Goldstein, and of lesser known, but no less fascinating characters like Peter Wolff, hippie genius of the True Sex genre, and gun-toting Myron Fass, last of the pulp-pushers. See the evolutionary end-stage of sex humor magazines, the overflowing abundance of big breast titles, the emergence of swinging as lifestyle and publishing niche, the curious phenomenon of reader-written erotica, more funny, amazing and confounding ads from the magazines' back pages and cap it all with the 70s' top five covergirls (and one coverboy). Volume 5: 1970s At the Newsstand contains 460 full color pages of covers and magazine interiors and 18 chapters of information-rich text. Together with Volume 6 it forms a complete overview of men's magazine publishing of the 1970s. With Volumes 1 through 4, these two books complete the six-volume set of Dian Hanson's: "The History of Men's Magazines".

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Read, 24 Jan 2006
The History of Men’s Magazines Vol 5 is hard back and measures 22cm x 28cm (more or less A4) and is a whopping 460 pages thick and weighing in at just under 2kg makes it quite a handful!

It is a study of men’s magazines that were available “At the Newsstands” around the World (mainly America, but also looking at France, Japan, Hong Kong, Latin America and of course the United Kingdom) during the 1970s.

The book is packed with pictures, many of which occupy the whole page. The majority show the front covers of numerous magazines, although some are from inside the magazines; of the girls, of cartoons and even some of the adverts.

Dian Hanson, the author, writes a knowledgeable and interesting text that is presented in English, German & French. The text is rather short and many chapters can be read within five minutes!

To those of us now used to the flood-lit, hairless, silicone-inflated, styled, manicured and air-brushed super-beauties of today who all too often look like clones of one another; this book reflects on a time when the girls appeared to be so much more real; as if photographed just as they were; just as ordinary girls-in-the-street. Also a time of flared trousers and men with moustaches!

Don’t expect much if any titillation but appreciate this book as a wonderful historical document representing an important aspect of human social history.
