Foto-rama (Vintage tabloid pin-up digest magazine)
New York: Arena Publishing Corp., 1968. Distributed by Ace, then PDC, member CWP. B/W throughout, 198pp. Vintage long-running nearly-nude pin-up digest magazine devoted to celebrities, sports, vice, truce crime, swimsuit models, burlesque, wartime themes, loaded w/ photographs & great models (later issues w/ color inserts). Russ Meyer was a major contributor (was he Myron Fass, credited editor in several issues?).
