Item description from seller

First Edition. Slim quarto. Issue 30 (Mar/Apr 1981) of Leonard Koren's deliciously baroque artist's magazine on "gourmet bathing;" blending aesthetics, hygiene, philosophy, photography, and pop culture. This sought-after issue notable for its feature on Helmut Newton?as "photographer of the erotic rich"?and the controversial review by Lewis MacAdams on the necrophilic performance art of John Duncan ("Sex with the Dead: Art or Atrocity?"); a contribution that had the magazine banned from some of its usual outlets. This copy includes the loose rubber-stamp insert from Bob Zoell, who also designed the iconic cover. Some edge-wear to illustrated wrappers; close to near fine.
