Description: Jean-Paul Goude naughty "doodles" , Mats Gustafson male nudes, the brown corrugated box sleeve held shut by a black elastic band, Mats provided the "illustrated" writing for the cover. "Inside, the credits were written out on a rickety old typewriter. They say sex sells, and EROTICA flew out of the stores (after Issue 1, it is the hardest issue to come by). In printing Steven Meisel's anatomical close-up we came to an important realization. Namely, that Visionaire was here to print things that no other publication would. We were worried that some of the material might shock our printers until we found out that they had dealt in hard-core pornography. Compared to what they were used to seeing, our stuff was nothing." Loose printed paper pages, appears complete but who knows what made it into each copy. One of only 1000 numbered copies, except for a few dents in the rather soft cardboard, this copy is Near Fine.
