New Direction Volume 8 Number 6 is a British adult magazine priced at 85p in the United Kingdom and 1 dollar 75 in the United States, marked strictly for sale to adults only. The cover uses a bold red block masthead over a wood panel studio setting, with a glamour model in fishnet stockings and visible feature lines including Yummy Yummy, page after page of intimate new personal ads, now with colour photo contacts, N D Probes Welsh Promiscuity, Bags Of Beautiful Brazen Birds and Baring The Lot.

The issue reflects the late 1970s and early 1980s shift in adult publishing towards contact ads, regional sex culture articles and more direct reader led material, making it collectable for buyers interested in vintage British mens magazines, adult periodicals, personal ad history and retro glamour cover design.

The handwritten 21 over 148 note is on a small paper label placed over the protective plastic sleeve and is not written on the magazine cover.
