Outdoor American Corporation, 1958-62. Very Good. Audit Bureau of Circulations member, 1958-1962, stapled quarto softcovers, ~30pp/ea, b/w throughout. Vintage adult magazines, featuring educational, sociological science especially for nudists, recording the development of the nudist concept, advancing the nudist convictions, club ads & contemporary articles. The pioneering Mounce landed in court a few times. By these dates, airbrushing inside the magazine is (largely) nonexistent. Top glamour/pinup/nude models often found their way into/onto the magazines, the selections here being prime examples. The magazine desperately needs a wiki entry.
