Hardcover. Condition: Good. The format is approximately 9.875 inches by 12.75 inches. Illustrated front and back cover. Illustrated endpapers. Illustrations (some in color). Some cover wear to front and back and spine. Scuff on back cover. Publisher's ephemera laid in. This issue includes 'A Bed for Maria"--A Short, Short Story by Ray Bradbury! Ralph Ginzburg (October 28, 1929 July 6, 2006) was an American editor, publisher, journalist, and photographer. He was best known for publishing books and magazines on erotica and art and for his conviction in 1963 for violating federal obscenity laws. Ginzburg's most famous publication, Eros, a high-priced magazine of classy erotica, was launched in 1962, and only four issues were published before he was indicted on charges of violating federal obscenity laws and had to stop publishing the quarterly. He was found guilty by the Supreme Court eventually and sentenced to five years in prison. (He was released after eight months. Herbert F. Lubalin (March 17, 1918 May 24, 1981) was an American graphic designer. He collaborated with Ralph Ginzburg on three of Ginzburg's magazines: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. In Lubalin's private studio, he worked on a number of wide-ranging projects, from poster and magazine design to packaging and identity solutions. It was here that he became best known for his work on a series of magazines published by Ralph Ginzburg: Eros, Fact, and Avant Garde. Eros (four issues, Spring 1962 to 1963) devoted itself to the beauty of the rising sense of sexuality and experimentation, particularly in the burgeoning counterculture. It was a quality production with no advertising, and the large format (13 by 10 inches) made it look like a book rather than a quarterly magazine. It was printed on varying papers and the editorial design was some of the greatest that Lubalin ever did. It quickly folded after an obscenity case brought by the US Postal Service. Eros was an American quarterly political and literary magazine that published only four volumes in 1962. The New York Times described Eros as a "stunningly designed hardcover 'magbook'," covering "a wide swath of sexuality in history, politics, art and literature." The magazine was the first product of Ralph Ginzburg and Herb Lubalin who later created two other influential magazines, namely Fact and Avant Garde. The first issue of the magazine appeared in Spring 1962. Ralph Ginzburg was the editor and Herb Lubalin was the art director of Eros which came out quarterly. The focus of the magazine was on love and sex during the dawning of the Sexual Revolution. It also covered articles on politics, arts and literature. The third (Autumn, 1962) of a total of 4 issues of the magazine published featured the photographs of Marilyn Monroe just before her death which caused an obscenity lawsuit against Ginzburg by then U.S. Attorney General, Robert Kennedy. The reason for the lawsuit was the claim that the magazine had violated federal anti-obscenity laws. Ginzburg was convicted and sentenced to five years in prison, but he remained in prison for eight months. Following this incident the magazine was closed down. Ray Douglas Bradbury (August 22, 1920 June 5, 2012) was an American author and screenwriter. One of the most celebrated 20th-century American writers, he worked in a variety of genres, including fantasy, science fiction, horror, mystery, and realistic fiction. Bradbury is best known for his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953) and his short-story collections The Martian Chronicles (1950), The Illustrated Man (1951), and The October Country (1955).[4] Other notable works include the coming of age novel Dandelion Wine (1957), the dark fantasy Something Wicked This Way Comes (1962) and the fictionalized memoir Green Shadows, White Whale (1992). He also wrote and consulted on screenplays and television scripts, including Moby Dick and It Came from Outer Space. Many of his works were adapted into television and film productions as well as comic books. Bradbu. Herb Lubalin (Art Director), and Marvin Newman (Ph (illustrator).…
