Wrappers. Zustand: Near Fine. 32 pages (including front and rear covers). Paperback. Texts in English. Minor wear along the spine edge, with a bit of tanning consistent with age. But still a very crisp, tight, sharp, and clean condition copy, with virtually no evidence of having been read or admired. Staple-bound with illustrated paper covers. Dozens of black and white photographs of nude, athletic men posed in numerous positions. Posing straps protect the more sensitive viewers from having genitals forced visually upon them (and protects AMG from unwanted attention from the censors). Erotic drawings of male nudes by Art-Bob and others pepper the presentation of black and white photographs. Ostensibly advertising films or packets of images of the models for the viewer's personal use, the Physique Pictorial magazine historically provided an outlet for numerous gay men throughout the country. The history of Physique Pictorial, although seen as somewhat campy and kitschy today, remains an important chapter in the history of homosexuality in the United States. Each issue still packs an erotic punch that is hard to beat. Book.
