Maintaining a high standard of literary excellence, Harper & Brothers managed to acquire the works of many of the world's most esteemed authors for inclusion in their monthly journal. As well as fine literature, Harper's presented some of the most attractive engraved illustrations of the time. With exciting selections in literature, poetry, informative articles on history, current affairs, science and the arts, as well as astute editorial commentary, it is no wonder that "Harper's New Monthly Magazine" was as successful as it was. It is the second-oldest continually published monthly magazine in the country.

Sterling; Tedd Thomey; Stanley S. Jacobs; Frederick Philcox; V. Parsons; Dean W. Ballenger; Interior Artists; Al Rossi; Bob Stanley; Samson Pollen; Contents; ** "'Convention Girls' New Come-On Racket" by C.K. Winston. Even if they're sometimes hauled into court by an outraged racket-busting DA, these soft-lipped, cash-hungry dolls are as durable as their clients' bank accounts, forever ready to feed jaded tycoons new thrills - with passion prepaid. ** "'Find and Destroy the Giant Guns of Brao'" by Leon Lazarus, art by Al Rossi. Whipping his band of Tito partisans into an army of expendable commandos, the behind-lines American was ready to take on the Nazis holed up at Split - along with their secret, long-range artillery that terrorized Yugoslavia. ** "Shocking Truth Behind Air Crash 'Misses'" by Robert J. Serling. A jetliner has the strength of a battleship and, in a pinch, its highly trained pilot can bring it in on a wing and a prayer. Yet one single bolt out of place can flip it into a deadly tailspin, beyond the speed of sound - and beyond the point of no return. ** "Man-Hungry Females" by Tedd Thomey, art by Bob Stanley. Haunted by his secret, they gave him their bodies, their minds and their money. but one who played an even hotter game - a seductive beauty in nothing but a blue bra. ** "The Winter 2000 People Turned To Ice" by Stanley S. Jacobs. From Norway to Sicily rivers froze solid, food and fuel transports stopped, men, women and children were marooned in their homes or died in the streets - until all of Europe had become a giant wasteland, holding out against the threat of complete annihilation. ** "International Spree of a Footloose Doll" Cheesecake photo layout of Karen Melchior born in Sydney, Australia, but is a US citizen. ** "Hitler's Great Time Bomb Raid to Wreck London" by Frederick Philcox. The message to Churchill was grim: the Germans were priming the city with a TNT secret weapon - and one demolition man after another was vaporized in the desperate attempt to save the city from destruction. ** "My 1964 Nightmare with Ecuador's Head-Shrinking Tribe" by V. Parsons. No outsider was permitted to watch the terrible ceremony that ended in an orgy of uncontrolled violence. And here I crouched with my camera, knowing that if they discovered me, I would have time for just one agonized scream - to be heard by no one. ** "Action for Men" Newspaper Clips - Sighted Soviet Trawler - 'Skunked' Same. France's Lusty, Busty 'Mike Hammer' ** "Sariguan Island: Strangest Marine Campaign" by Dean W. Ballenger, art by Samson Pollen. If the Japanese could lure the Yanks into 'fraternizing' with the 'untouchable' girls, at least 20000 GIs would be knocked out of action by the most desperate plot of WWII. *** Book Order # ADV030; Condition= FN/VF = (7.0) FINE to VERY FINE; (NICE, Above Average Condition) Price = US$59.00); Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall TRUE FIRST Edition MAGAZINE Format Thus.
