History of Men’s Magazines

In 460 full-color pages you`ll learn how the first magazines appeared around 1900 in France, Germany and the US. Then follow along through the timid teens, the decadent twenties, the desperate thirties through the war and reconstruction. Covered in Volume 1 are men`s magazines masquerading as movie magazines, humor magazine s, detective magazines, art magazines, nudist magazines, and “spicy” fiction, as well as items like the Tijuana Bibles that pretended nothing and made no excuses. This hardcover volume is a fascinating instant collectable all on its own, and a must have to complete the six volume set of Dian Hanson`s: The History of Men`s Magazines.
