New York: Diamond Publishing, No date (late 1950s). Stapled wrappers. Octavo. 32pp. Illustrated throughout with full-page b&w photographs. Tiniest bit of wear near spine otherwise a lovely, near fine copy. Scarce.
No text here, just full page photos of Bettie Page, many nude shots. Photography tips were often included on either the inside front or back cover (back cover on this one). Numerous publications used this approach to give the volume an artistic bent, in order to get away with showing pictures of beautiful women naked, and thereby avoid any potential obscenity charges.
