Jaynie's Pink Palace Book Review : ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OF GIRLIE MAGAZINES

I fell in love with the cover of this book the moment I saw it. And I was quite fortunate to snag a copy for $5. The cover is baby pink and has a negligee clad Jayne Mansfield, what is not to love.

The book starts off with drawn images from the 1800's featured from the Police National Gazette and continues through to the pin up era and ends with the 70's and 80's, which I personally don't find artistic at all but it is a book about men's magazines through the ages so I suppose there is no reason not to feature that section in the book. The book features three images of Jayne, one small image near the beginning and two other images which take up a two page spread. There is nothing fantastic about the book other than the cover. It isn't glossy but there are colour images. It is a nice book to have and the pink looks good on the shelf. It is also interesting to read about how far men's magazines have come, that part I won't deny I enjoyed. I do recommend this book however there are better books out there on the subject of men's magazines.
