If you are a fan of Carrie from 70s Mayfair this will thrill
I stumbled across this book whilst in a tattoo parlour in Amsterdam. At the time I was providing moral support to a friend having her first tattoo. It was the spine cover that first caught my eye, despite it being placed amongst a myriad of other volumes ranging from weapons of mass destruction to the Bible and the Koran. The illustrations depict heroines from the era of a dick tracy novel. All show some degree of stocking top and the girls range from full on vamp's to helpless screaming victims. It was clear to see why a tattooist would have to have this volume. This book will delight any man or woman who finds the female form provocative and sensual. Left on the coffee table it will arouse both conversation and admiration. A must have book....

eye candy on a mamoth scale
I found this book surfing amazon's suggestion lists and what a find it has turned out, printed in the same stye as the original magazines even with crinkles and foxing on some the mag covers and pages are cropped but add to the charm of the read..
It is a feast of eye candy and a bargain that would be hard to find in another of the same type. You have to be carefull with it as it is so thick the spine can easily be damaged. But everytime i come back to it there is allways something new to look at as no way is it a one or even two session read.
So as a coffe table book (i must buy a coffe table) you need a strong one, its great as it is not offensive to anyone.
The only downside is it's an A5 size but in A4 it would probably be way to heavy.
