5.0 out of 5 stars
Glad I stumbled across this book.,
This review is from: Pin Up: A Modest History (Evergreens) (Paperback)
The Pin-Up is a history book with an artistic flare. Through well written text and 100's of photos, Mark Gabor describes the history of a pop icon; the pin-up girl. From Cheescake to fetish it's all described in accurate detail.

This review is from: The Pin Up: A Modest History (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a book with pictures of Pin Ups by Vargas, Petty or Elvgren this is not the book for you. It is mostly graphic vintage nudes in black and white. I actually returned it because I was so disappointed.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Pin Up: A Modest History (Hardcover)
I first came across this book before at a used bookstore and bought it right on the spot.Sadly, I lost the book and so have searched for a good while to get another copy of it so I was very pleased to see Amazon offering it. This book is full of mostly black and white photos and gives the history of the pinup, both female and male. The pics of the men tend to be of famous actors while the women in the pics are largely unknown. I found this book to be somewhat erotic in nature and would highly recommend it, especially if you are interested in the history of nude photography.
