I've mentioned Sampson Publishing before. Although I really have no info on the owner or publisher, I do know that Sampson was the same company as Delilah Publishing, as their addresses are the same. I also know that they had a tendency to slap books together quickly, often without much order to the pages or even a proper indicia (the text, usually at the bottom of the index page, that lists the publisher, the date, and the number of the issue). Compare this issue of Eve with the one I have posted by Delilah. While the girls are about the same, the Delilah Eve is put together hastily and sloppily. Perhaps to obtain a copyright as quickly as possible.

Sometimes Sampson aspired to the quality of Selbee, as witnessed in the magazine French Frolic. Other times, they seemed to just publish what they could get their hands on.

Sampson's Eve was not the first girlie magazine to use that name. Knight Publications started a mag called Eve in the mid 50's, along with their Adam magazine. Eve didn't last long; Adam did. Sampson's Eve may not have lasted long, either. I've never seen an issue past #3, although that doesn't mean there weren't any.

In this issue, we have pictorials of Ann Wesley, Maria Clarance, Christine Ballard, Marlena Loren, Nina Corol, Audrey Nichols, and Bambi Martino.

There's also one-each clothed pictures of Peggy Evans, Arlene Stevens, Jacquie Bernard, and Laura Thurlow, all in Fredrick's of Hollywood Lingerie. Not an ad, but an article entitled "Hollywood Starlets Love Fredrick's Fashions". After seeing them, I love them too.
