Good. The navy cover shows real rubbing and a few reading creases, but the color holds and the inside pages are clean and bright. A shiny fleck of residue or sticker scrap is stuck on the model's hair on the front. Every mark is in the photos.

The story
The editorial on page 7 sets the tone. The editors of Naked Beefcake #1, and of its "equally well-endowed" sister title Naked Young Champs #1, take a swipe at the sex laws of the day, noting that in Minnesota "carnally knowing" a bird could get you up to 20 years, and then get back to the business of men with their clothes off.
Page 18 introduces "Our Cover Guy," Big Jim, who the editors say can play the junior executive, the cowboy fast on the draw, the football ace or the kingpin of the bikers. The solo sets run hairy and hung: a jock with a football and helmet on a toile armchair printed with stagecoaches and trains, a mustached man sprawled face down on a green sofa, and a curly-haired back-cover man in a red bandana with a saddle behind him.
