Mr. Burtman didn't always have cash to pay for printing of magazine content he developed, and often sold publication packages to other publishers, such as Unique, Health Knowledge, Bilife Publications, Bizincorp and Consolidated. Packages included everything a publisher might need to print a magazine, and allowed space for advertising. For these, he received a fee and copies, which he, in turn, sold to raise cash for other publishing projects.

Fans of high-heeled footwear generally think the higher, the better. Heels are seldom too tall. In this issue of High Heels magazine, with a notable exception, most models wear pumps with three inch heels but one wears cute mules. Higher heels appear in a few pictures in the letters section. Pictorials don't show models in boots.

Full-fashioned, RHT, and patterned stockings, kept in place by garter belts, adorn nearly all pictured gams. From luscious thighs to well-turned ankles, sheer hosiery enhances the intriguing architecture of shapely limbs.

Cover cutie Candy Cole shows off her ample curves in patterned hosiery and sling-backs. Posing in Mr. Burtman's apartment, this zoftig miss seems ready for anything.

With beret on head and stretchy garter belt, the model identified as Jackie Taylor appears to be French. Stripping out of a slit skirt like those worn by apache dancers, she reveals a slender figure with lacy white garters on her thighs.

Getting dressed in a bedroom, June Walker seems contemplative in sheer, seamless hosiery.

All-American Anita Ventura poses on a desk in pumps and full-fashioned nylons. A blurb predicts that this “. . . bundle of natural, earthy sensuality . . . will be adored for a long time.”

Photographed on a bed and elsewhere, five pictures of Margaret Middleton show her in lace tights, a garter belt and a corset.

Another Brit, Molly Peters, reveals her svelte figure in dark hosiery, mules and leather gloves.

“Almost naked,” Gina Miller arranges ample curves across adjacent twin beds and in front of a big television console. A lacy garter belt holds FF stockings on her limbs.

In strappy high-heeled sandals and full-fashioned hosiery, dusky Joan Crawford has every asset a woman might need to present the best fetish outfit in the collection. She uses varied surfaces in an urban apartment to display abundant femininity.

In his essay Heels for the Helluvit, Philip Bowman discusses the seductive appeal of high heels through the ages. He says that the foot is a symbol of fecundity and concealing part of it in close-fitting leather adds mystery to male fascination with the feet of women. Illustrated with photographs.

In Five Desirable Inches Taller, Cleo gives valuable style advise to young co-worker Gladys. The short story describes appealing attire a smart women wears to a hootenanny, including sexy undies, leather skirt and high-heeled pumps. A fine Gene Bilbrew illustration illuminates a scene.

The large-format ebook contains all content in the 72-page magazine, including advertising and letters to the editor, which appear with a few snapshots of nice footwear. The sequence of pages was revised to place the short story on consecutive pages.

Some page layouts were changed to present pictures without reduction in size. Some of the carpets, window coverings, and furniture were cropped out to obtain larger images of the models.

This issue of High Heels contains some good photography, but other pictures are rough, dark or grainy. This might be a consequence of re-using the content of other magazines. Adjustment of photo tone and re-touching of specks, improves on the original. Despite careful digital image editing that reduces unpleasant shadows, a few pictures are less than optimal in quality. Nevertheless, the ebook provides a viewing experience superior to that of the paper version.
