Part Two of American Fetish Digests, circa the 1950s ~ 1960s, picks-up where my previous post, from earlier this year, left off. The core of the fetish publishers (Selbee, Burmel, Klaw, Satellite) was located here in the New York City metro area. However there were publishers in Los Angeles (Dominate, Fantasia) and other smaller, lesser know east coast publications which will be represented here as well. Covers illustrated with photographs will also be introduced.

In no particular order, a selection of material from my archives follows. It includes numerous rarely seen publications as well favorites, popular among collectors.
