Presenting Bettie Page
These photos of Miss Betty were taken when she was about 30 years old. Her legendary form shows youthful energy in 29 photos in various stages of dishabille. In peignoir, stockings, fishnets, corset, low-heeled sandals, high-heeled pumps, pasties and bathtub suds she shows her moods and faces. One of these photos may have been the inspiration for an Olivia painting.

Two pages of fluff text in front quote Betty Page. The last two pages explain photo lighting and camera settings. Good photography and reproduction in the original provide excellent content for the ebook.

Laced in Leather, C-5
A digest-sized book from about 1958, this Selbee publication has no text to describe the activities shown in the 60+ high-contrast, full-page photos. The vignette in pictures wants us to understand that a petite brunette visits the "Madame LaVern Corsets" emporium. There, a tall redhead helps her try on a few different corsets, one of which is the choice blue satin corset modeled by Tana Louise in Exotique 25. The customer also helps the redhead with lace-tightening. Lots of lacing and full-fashioned hosiery adjustments, leather gloves and gauntlets.

The back cover has a Gene Bilbrew illustration that is shown as originally printed and also presented as four separate pictures.
