I am sorry that I cannot produce higher resolution images of these items. They are way to big for my scanner, and my old Sony Mavica is the only digital camera that I own.

Post Script: I had planned to put about 20 pictures up here, covering this entire group of material. I am looking for its' value as a group.

The first 3 pictures are the prints from the "Manscape" Portfolio. The 4th pic is of the open book and the selecter card. The last pic is of a rolled print - picture from the book.

I have changed my alleged mind, I would like to sell all as a group.
