A facsimile reprint of some of the most famous American girlie magazines, this volume contains a compendium of the covers and contents of 250 magazines. This description may be from another edition of this product.
As an earlier reviewer pointed out, there are problems with image oversizing (but, to my mind, it's not a significant problem). I would also say that too much space is devoted to reproducing the covers (some of which are identical) and not enough space given over to those wacky and surprisingly still erotic photo spreads. It's also true that this is a reprint of another Taschen book, but this time it comes with hard cover and glossy pages (as opposed to the hard-cardboard backs and pulpy pages of the original). This book is practically being given away at this price and while I might have made different editorial choices, I am very happy with this book as is.
Covers of Classic Pin-up girls! This is a great reference!

If you like pin-up girls and the 40's and 50's style pictures. This is the book to get! It is filled cover to cover with amazing art work. There are a variety of artists shown. The art varies from movie posters to pulp fiction book covers and magazine covers. I have never found a book with such a great range, as I said a real resource for fans of pin-up girl art.
