[Peter · Rating 5 out of 5]

Everything you'd expect from the title you'll find inside: the first nudes (black and white), the naughty Edwardians, follies and vanities (Theda Barra), Bettie Grable goes to war, early classic pin ups, the permissive years (look at those long hairs and big boobs in the side view). Ideal coffee table book for cold winter afternoons and evenings. Highly recommended!

One of the most comprehensive books on the history of the pin-up, an excellent encyclopedia on the subject. Sadly, the book was not built to last. Try finding a copy that is not falling apart.
