56 pages including covers. All B & W except colour centre pages.

Centre pages detached from staples.

Edges of magazine have a print loss area on front and back cover - possibly where magazine was closed up with tape.

Bamboo Vol 1 No 7 (no date, but other features indicate 1957)

click for larger image

44 pages all B & W

includes Barbara Lang, Lynn Shaw, Laya Raki, Jennie Lee, Gina Lollobrigida, Maria Hanson, Marie Devereux, Rita Cavenagh, Judy Bruce

I am not sure if this one ever had a "pull out centre page" as the centre staples are a bit high.  If it did it was certainly not numbered as the pages run in numerical sequence without interuption.  Centre pages are Gina Lollobrigida 1947 / 1957

Carnival presents Rhapsody in Colour (undated)

click for larger image

This is simply glossy full colour pinups of Hollywood actresses (including Marilyn Monroe)  and model pin ups.  None are named as there is no text on the pages. Some of the pages are double page photos.

Here is the puzzle. The cover clearly indicated "100 pages of colour", but I count 92 pages.  This would mean that 2 x 4 page sections were missing.  The puzzle is that this magazines is square bound and stitched in sections (not stapled).  There appears to be no gaps for the missing sections, so did it ever have 100 pages?.

Back cover has a small bit out of it about 1/4 x 1/4 inch at the middle of the edge of of the back cover.
