Continuing with our parade of old and new vintage magazines, I've added a classic: Cabaret Yearbook for 1956.

Cabaret was unique among men's magazines. Although it eventually became a standard skin mag, it started as a magazine that specialized in exploring and advertising the burlesque circuit. It featured the clubs and the girls in its picture-heavy articles and its back pages listed clubs in various metropolitan areas of the U.S. It's a peek into a world long since gone.

It was also unique in its publication techniques: Cabaret Yearbook was a wire-bound book. At the time, the advantage was that the publisher was not limited to the 4-page fold-and-staple method used by most mag printers.

For my scanning it's great because every page lies flat. With fold-and-staple books, I often have to remove the staples to get the pages to lie flat, then carefully replace the staples into the original holes. With square-bound, glued books, I often have to destroy the magazine to scan it properly.

Anyway, it's the latest in a long line of returning magazines to the site. Enjoy.
