A fantastic piece of early-1950s pin-up and burlesque history, with a beautiful full-color Lili St. Cyr cover and an unusually substantial feature devoted to one of the era's most famous performers.
Condition: Nice vintage condition for an original 1952 publication with expected handling and age wear. The colorful Lili St. Cyr cover remains extremely attractive and presents very well. There is some edge and spine wear, a small corner crease and an old handwritten notation on the front cover. Interior pages present nicely overall. Please review the photos for condition and details.
