Readers Wives

Readers Wives - BrazenBooks

I have a considerable amount of "Readers' Wives" titles from the late 1980s and early 1990s, which I am going to start listing over at BrazenBooks. "Readers' Wives" from the 80s and 90s, in my opinion, are just so much better than nowadays, where everything is more polished and produced. I certainly prefer the more amateur feel that these magazines have. It is worth considering that if your wife or girlfriend wanted to show off all of her hidden treasures, then the "Readers' Wives" sections or complete magazines devoted to just that were one way of showcasing yourself. We have to remember that internet access at home was not generally available until later in the 1990s, and even then, it was pretty limited. Nowadays, it is all too easy to set up an OnlyFans, Facebook, or Tumblr account and away you go. I have lots to choose from, and I am not going to list them all at once; it's going to take me months. If you like "Readers' Wives" magazines, be sure to keep checking BrazenBooks for newly added stock. Most of the stock I have is ex-retail and never been owned, with me having, in some instances, multiple copies of each title and number.

Leg Show

Leg Show - Fetish magazine focused on images of women in nylons, corsets, pantyhose, stockings, and high heels.

Over the coming months and on into the future, I will be listing collections of what I consider to be some of the more current, regular top shelf, and glamour magazines for sale on BrazenBooks. When I say "up-to-date," I am referring to magazines that are 20 to 40 years old. To kickstart this process off, I will be listing copies of the popular and highly sought-after Leg Show magazine.

Leg Show, a fetish magazine from the United States, focused on capturing captivating images of women in nylons, corsets, pantyhose, stockings, and high heels, often paired with the act of smoking. The publication boasted pinup style photographs and articles that were often centred around dominant women. Led by the esteemed editor Dian Hanson, Leg Show flourished throughout the 1990s.

Regrettably, Leg Show is no longer in circulation. The final edition of Leg Show magazine hit the shelves in August 2012, marking the end of an era for enthusiasts of this great publication.

Rubber News and Associated Publications

Rubber News - Arkison Ltd

I have acquired what I believe to be a complete set of Rubber News, Black Panther and 2 other titles from the same publisher - Head Girl and Mermaid in Rubber. They were all home printed publications, released fortnightly on the 1st and 15th of each month, and were available on subscription-only during 1966. Content is quite mixed, consisting of readers’ letters and drawings, general rubber advice and book reviews. Each book also describes all the items that the publishers manufactured and offered for sale. Not just clothing, but all kinds of stuff that you might require for a fun night in, these items are described in some detail.

Photographs were also offered for sale in sets that were described, again, in detail. Oddly interesting to read with your imagination working overtime!

All the books I have are complete and in nice condition. I feel reluctant to sell these individually and feel they ought to go to someone as a collection, to be cherished as a complete set. I have tried to research them, but with no real luck. I have never seen another copy in all my travels and rummagings through people’s weird and wonderful collections.

They are for sale as a complete lot - 25 books in total. If you are interested, then please contact me and we can take it from there.

What makes me think that I have a complete set is this page, which was added to Volume 1 No 22. What you are about to read below was an all-to-frequent event in the 1960’s, when publications like this were considered to be subverting the general public. A great deal of material was destroyed in this way in the UK and the USA. We are now frequently only left with what had already slipped that net, making publications like Rubber News rare and very collectable. I am not sure what happened after this volume, did Rubber News resurrect itself later under a different name? If you know more, then it would be great to hear from you, so please take the time to contact me.

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM MR. C. J. TRAILL-HILL.

Friends.

As you will doubtless have gathered from various delays in our mailings, we have fallen into some confusion. The time has now come for me to be frank with you, letting you know what the problem is and telling you of my plans to overcome the present problem and prevent it arising in the future.

Following on the scurrilous attack in The People, in which the nature of our business was distorted beyond recognition, we had a visit from the CID, armed with a "search and seize warrant", under which they took the whole of our stocks of books, photos and equipment for inspection under suspicion that they were obscene.

They did not in any way interfere with our rubber garment business, nor with the documentation relating to it. This is intact and operating fully.

Also, they did not express any interest in our mailing list. No-one, and I repeat NO-ONE is involved in any problems apart from myself. If there are any problems, I have accepted full responsibility, exonerating all my staff on the grounds that they were merely carrying out my instructions for their wages and were not the authors or promoters of anything that has been done.

All RUBBER NEWS correspondence has been consistently destroyed. There is NOTHING for any of you to worry about in this connection. All my authors and artists have also been protected, as well as my models, photographers and the rest.

At this time, I do not know what the outcome may be. It is possible that I shall be prosecuted, although I am advised that this is not very likely because of course the resulting publicity would do more for me than years of patient effort. (As a result of the article in The People I have received over 100 interested enquiries).

Anyway, this is my worry and I do not ask you to share it.
