History of Men's Magazines Vol. 1 - Reviews
"Dian Hanson's The History of Men's Magazines is a bawdy delight."Vanity Fair, New YorkUnited States |

"Art-book publisher TASCHEN has produced a series of coffee-table volumes that threaten to snap the legs off the sturdiest living-room furnishings. The first two volumes of the hardback six-volume collection Dian Hanson's History of Men's Magazines, out now, are the opening salvo in the definitive pictorial story of stroke books."Sexwrecks.com, Los AngelesUnited States |

"Ahhh, the good old days are back!... Back when men were MEN, REAL MEN, HE-MEN, ALL MEN, MANLY MEN, THE MAN and MALE! And magazines had names like BURLESK, GIRLIE GAGS, REAL SMART, CHICKS AND CHUCKLES, WHIZ BANG, LAFF, and ZING! No poetry mind you, but hell, real men didn't read poetry...they just gawked at gals! Well, if you're too young to remember those musty, dusty days "from 1900 to Post-WW II," Dian Hanson provides instant nostalgia (not to mention gratification) in this giant compendium-the first volume in her pictorial The History of Men's Magazines. This extraordinarily comprehensive collection (2 volumes just unleashed and more to follow) is not only the last word in men's magazines, it's the last word in nudie pix 'n kicks. The editor has somehow managed to amass what must be every publication geared to men that appeared in print. She includes an international smorgasbord of zines from around the globe, with countless rare, unseen cover reproductions in all their gaudy color. They range from cornball and crass, to goofy and surreal. (Don't miss the covers of SEX APPEAL from France) This volume will surely inspire laffs, lust, wonder, awe, ughs and ribald head-scratching hunh? What could be more fun than a barrel o' gams...? It's a seemingly endless parade of flirtatious airbrushed cuties, busty babes, and awkward artiste's models strutting their stuff in print. Indeed, there's enough fresh pulp here to make an orange grove and the farmer's daughter blush. All hail another gem from TASCHEN!"Dingbat.com, CharlottesvilleUnited States |

"Want to know what made Grandpop the man he is? It was the men's magazines he read, which were packed with stories about swingers, sex slaves and gang bangs. Dian Hanson's History of Men's Magazines Vol 1 and Vol 2 are coffee-table books that celebrate the mags in all their lurid glory, from 1900 to 1957."Playboy, ChicagoUnited States |
|
"As long as man is tempted by visions of lascivious women there will be another man who will find some way of producing those images in mass quantities for public consumption. That is the genesis of the pornographer, and Dian Hanson's History of Men's Magazines is his story in graphic color over six volumes of 400-plus hardback pages, the first two volumes on sale now. And it is very good."Mr. Skin.com, Chicago/Los AngelesUnited States |

"The author is a woman who can clearly hold her own in a man's world. ( ) The bulk of Hanson's illustrations are colourfully pictorial not grainily photographic. She has a connoisseur's eye for the elegant covers that glossily encased the pulp content of the men's mag in its glory days."The Times, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Un livre passionnant."Max, ParisFrance |
|
"En une explosion de couleurs et de rotondités aguicheuses, cette bible des fantasmes masculins, sous son prétexte « léger », visite la République de Weimar, l'Amérique de la prohibition, le Paris des années folles, puis de l'Occupation. Elle rappelle ce que la Turquie d'Atatürk avait de progressiste, situe l'évolution du nu académique, suit le parcours des gazettes à scandales et de leurs stars épinglées, et consacre évidemment un chapitre entier à Hugh Hefner, le papa des célèbres playmates à oreilles de lapin, qui a plus fait pour le quotidien des routiers que Mercedes-Benz et Michelin réunis."24 heures, GenèveSwitzerland |
|
"Die Buch-Serie erscheint dreisprachig mit erotischen, aus heutiger Sicht aber auch witzigen Abbildungen und coolen Infos auf je über 400 Seiten."TV Sünde, MünchenGermany |
|
"Es gibt wohl unzählige Möglichkeiten, wie und wo sich eine Frau ihrer Kleider entledigen kann. Zur Freude der Kerle - und der Männermagazine. Die Geschichte der Pin-ups ist nun als Bildband-Serie erschienen."Spiegel.de, HamburgGermany |
