Proto Porn book by Jim Linderman in THINGS Magazine

Things Magazine has run a nice little blurb on the book PROTO-PORN: The Art Figure Study Scam of the 1950sThings is lovely, a magazine and weblog about objects, collections and discoveries... and this is much appreciated.

‘During the 1950s, under the quasi-legal rubric and ruse of “Art and Photo Figure Studies” hundreds of soft-core digest books featuring blurry photos of semi-naked women were sold by the truckload to a willing, greedy and needy consumer market’: the story of Proto-Porn: The Art Figure Study Scam, one of several publications by Jim Linderman, keeper of the (somewhat nsfw) Vintage Sleaze weblog. This is of course Taschen territory as well: American Pin Ups, Gil Elvgren, 1000 Pin-up Girls, etc. etc"

Things Magazine is HERE and highly recommended.
