SECRET PLEASURES, 59 ebook pages

Written by Carlson Wade, a frequent contributor to Exotique magazine, the 15-page short story is a first person account of a woman's intrusions into the private lives of co-workers. As she makes unannounced visits at the homes of three fellow-employees, she discovers that they all enjoy the secret pleasures of wearing feminine attire in their liesure time. These at-home wardrobes include corsets, leather, silk and high-heeled shoes. In addition to the cover art, one Gene Bilbrew illustration follows the story.

The remainder of the digest-sized magazine is Exotique Photo Album No. 7, which includes three illustrations by John Willie. Approximately 35 photos include pictures of pretty models in stockings, corsets, pumps, sandals and boots.

I reorganized the photos to cluster together pictures of the same model. Four boxing/wrestling photos are placed at the end of the ebook. Every photo has been adjusted and enlarged to achieve clarity. In this process, some of the curtains, carpet and furniture bleeds off the page edges to achieve bigger images of the models. The images to the left show some of the best pictures from this volume.

EXOTIQUE CORRESPONDENCE DIGEST, No. 1, 66 ebook pages
This digest-sized volume collects letters to the editor of Exotique and accompanying photos. Exotique readers disclose what they and their spouses like to wear and don't like to wear. I doubt that all the letters actually came from readers. I'm persuaded that most of the women in the photos, while as pretty as models, are actually the wives and girlfriends of the photographers. The pictures surely tell us what Exotique readers had on their minds. Although this volume was produced in 1958, some of the photos originated decades earlier.

Photos occupy about 20 pages of the ebook. I enlarged every photo, which sometimes resulted in revised page layouts. The last page of the original consists of six small images which were enlarged to fill three pages. I adjusted the brightness and contrast of the photos to bring out the details. The bottom two images on the right show some of the best pictures in this volume.
