Item description from seller

New York: Ultem Publications, Inc., 1938. January, 1938 Issue, Volume 4, No. 6. "Good Girl" pin-up cover art by George Quintana, "A Toot Timer", signed by Quintana in the cover illustration as well. Contents are illustrated from photographs. Quarto, illustrated stapled wraps, 66 pp. About Near Fine. Not much cover toning at all, but a moderate amount of soil (see scans); interior text block pages show marginal age-toning. Tiny amount of damage at the bottom of the spine, though the spine is complete. See scans. A high grade Very Good Plus to About Near Fine, unusual in this fragile and inexpensively produced line of publication. A scarce and iconic issue from the pin-up pulp world of the 1930's, the covers of which, when executed by the likes of George Quintana, Enoch Bolles and Earle Bergey, would currently be dubbed "Good Girl" art. And, that they are. While Bolles covers are scarce enough, Quintana, about which very little else is known but that he painted such covers as these (see scan) is a harder find. Contents are mostly Hollywood studio-produced photos of leggy entertainers who are generally not dressed for the arctic (this issue's cover notes that it includes a "Special Silk Stocking Section"), with plenty of rumor-mill type text as well. The humor derives from the quippy editor-inserted captions next to the photos, mostly cinematic stills. A genre classic for both cover and content- and condition. See scans LG-2.…
