Big & Bouncy (vintage adult pinup digest magazine, 1960s)

New York (presumed): N.p., 1960s. Vintage adult digest magazine featuring nude buxom women posing in heels, hose, garters, notably Laine Carlin on the front, Sunni Roberts on the rear, brief layouts of Ann Austin, Toni Stevens, Millie Morgan. Short editorial on the "international" scene, each layout w/ corresponding copy writing. Many of these models often employed by British glamour photographer, Harrison Marks. Though not credited to this title, much of the photography resembles Marks' work.

Hundreds of similar digest magazines were produced by fly-by-night operations, mainly around New York, notably Burmel Publishing (Lenny Burtman's enterprise). Many were published as photography and/or art "studies" booklets, w/ technical camera data, exposure chart, & the standard emphasis on sexual liberation; early issues featured several models per issue & many maintain airbrushing techniques rolled over from nudist magazines, much of the posing naturally obscures otherwise censored areas. Still scarce institutionally.

64pp, 6 x 9 inches, color wrapper, B/W throughout, saddle-stapled. Near Fine, price notation to front. [Book ID 126106]
