Man About Town magazine coversThis page shows the covers of a quintessential quarterly men's magazine from the 1950s Man About Town, which in the 1960s became part of that swinging era, in the process increasing its frequency to monthly and abbreviating its name to About Town and then Town. I'd be grateful to anyone who can fill in the gaps (tony [at] magforum.com). With thanks to Chris Gregory, Neil Raphael and Mark Isaacs. Man About Town 1955 (quarterly) |
