Very Good. The covers are bright, but there's a patch of scuffing and ink rub on the front around the first letter of the title. The pages inside are clean and tight. Every mark is in the photos.

THE STORY BEHIND THE OBJECT.

WHY IT MATTERS

A night at the baths, with cage bars and handcuffs, from London Enterprises and the explicit mail-order press of the late '70s. Towel not included.

OBJECT STORY

Show Hard No. 6, 1977. Three men locked behind steel bars on the cover, one cuffed with his arms over his head, and the inside pays off. Bathhouse cubicles, a bed, and a cage scene with a stud tied to the bars.

Grainy black-and-white grids with a few full-color pages, strung together by a dirty little story. Nobody's named, and nobody needs to be. Pure late-70s back-of-the-shop filth.
