Item description from seller

First edition. Very Good oversized magazine, folded across the middle and with stress marks and a touch of tanning along the spine, tiny tears to the edges, and a small hole to the middle of the spine. SHIPS THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WRAPPED IN PADDING, IN A BOX. The third issue of The Manipulator (1985), the largest magazine ever printed. Founded by artists Wilhelm Moser and David Colby, it was published quarterly between 1984 and 1994. The editorial covered fashion, photography, architecture, design, film, and art, but the magazine was coveted for its poster-sized display of photographs. Contents include: an architectural photo-essay by Wilhelm Moser comparing Mayan structures, Nazi Nuremberg, and Versailles; a photo-essay by Flavio Bonetti on huge decaying war machines; David Bowie photographed by Greg Gorman; Jimmy Carter by Horst Wackerbarth; cover image of Green of Scritti Politti by John Swannell; and contributions from photographers Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, Paul Jasmin, David Buckland, Ken Haak, Perry Ogden, Claus Wickrath, and others. Articles include: Andreas Wilink on the Berlin Film Festival; In God's Name by David Yallop; the artist Rissa; an interview with Richard Branson's secretary, Penni; an interview with Stephen Jones, maker of fine hats; and more. There's little distinction between the ads and edit; except the photo-essays, most everything is printed full-page. The center spread is a Calvin Klein Obsession ad that measures 40x28-inches. Edited by David Colby, Wilhelm Moser, Eugen Michel, Peter Heintz, and Johno du Plessis. Unbound and unpaginated [44] pages, of heavy "book paper" stock; color and b&w illustrations throughout; 19.5 x 27.5 inches. Text is mostly in English with some articles also in German. Due to size and weight, international and expedited shipping may be more than quoted.
