An annual roundup of international “social nudism” by the publishers of Sun Magazine. Photo essays and texts explore nudist vacations in the US and Europe, with topics relevant to foreign customs and campgrounds. A number of essays are of special interest: including the value of the Polaroid to the nudist community, a lengthy review of the “first” nudist movie, “Nature’s Paradise” (1959), and sociological commentary about the evolving nudist movements in Britain, Denmark, and France: “The Silent Revolution.”
OCLC locates two holdings, at least one complete: Indiana (Kinsey) and Rutgers.
