It appears that Kane Photo Exchange magazine collected content from materials submitted by readers. The statement on page 3 recounts the evolution of the company's focus.

Welcome to the Kane Photo Exchange, issue #4. As part of a continuing series of publications, this volume represents an on-going correspondence with a variety of subscribers. Both candid and expressive, this collection of prose, illustration, and photography is presented free from pretense. It is information to be shared. Examine it, then make your own submission, no pun intended. Send art, true confessions, and all other pertinent information to . . . .

For the past fifteen years, Kane has published bondage and fetish magazines of distinction. Some of you probably remember Rosslyn News and our very first effort “Ladies In Restraint."

Back in 1974, we had adopted the photo essay tradition of Irving Klaw while attempting to update and personalize it in our own style. Our format remained consistent for many years as we continued to publish Kane Photos through an assortment of titles with Star Publishing in New York. Each magazine featured models portraying roles in scenarios pertaining to many aspects of B&D.

In the early 80s our focus began to shift. We became less interested in that "purely fictional" style and began to migrate toward a more personal approach to our work. We began to document our experiences through real photo exposes; witness Lisa, Amanda and others — each featured in a volume devoted completely to them.

Recently, we have begun to shift our focus again through the pages of our new Kane Photo Exchange. This is a publication devoted mainly to correspondence. We welcome your input, dare you to respond. We were overwhelmed by the letters received from issues 1&2. Several of these submissions are included on the forthcoming pages as you are soon to witness. We are grateful for your support and will continue this exchange in subsequent issues.

In many other bondage magazines, models pose in restraints and adjacent text tells a story that often relates to the photographs. These pictorials usually have a title.

In Kane Photo Exchange, there are no titles. Some photo sets have lots of text, some little.

The first group shows a slender brunette in lacy panties and stockings. In her first-person narrative, she says that bondage was her boyfriend's idea but she enjoyed it. She appears restrained by ropes, metal handcuffs, and chain. She's attached to a chair, a radiator, and a towel bar with rope, duct tape and electrical tape. A wood dowel was used to spread her arms out.

Joseph provides a lengthy account of early bondage experiences with his first love, which includes this summary:

I used many forms of bondage on her, simple and intricate rope bonds, fabric and calfskin bonds, multiples of materials from silk, latex, leather to steel. I enclosed her entire body, head to toe, in a thin clear plastic film garment bag and taped it securely to her body with black electrical tape forming a total enclosing encaptivement.

She was an incredible woman. She taught me so much. I learned so much about bondage itself, about being a master and about feeling her submission to me from the most subtle to the most extreme way.

Followed by 10 pages of photographs of a woman in lace panties, garter belt, stockings and slingbacks. She's rope-tied on a bed, silenced by ball gags and pantyhose.

The cute cover blond occupies 9 interior pages. The short text says, “rubber gag bit, PVC skirt, ankle cuffs, collar and chain . . . bound to please.” Photos also show her with ball gag and strap, limbs spread by wood dowels and padlocks.

A long-legged blond, silenced by metal tape and blindfolded, spends time on the bed with wrists and ankles tied to a chrome tube. The last set shows an attractive woman in a shiny, black mackintosh and head harness with built-in ball gag.

The digital replica contains all content of the 48-page magazine in the original sequence, including advertising. A few page layouts were revised slightly. Some empty margins, walls and floors were cropped out.

Brightness, contrast and levels were adjusted and shadows reduced. Good photography in the original transposed to ebook format with clarity.
