The magazine offers a unique window into regional British culture of the late seventies with its dedicated section for readers letters from cities spanning Hull and Maidstone to Portsmouth Cardiff Shrewsbury and Bristol. As a historical document of mature media from 1978 this publication serves as a primary example of the bold aesthetic and editorial style that defined a generation of adult entertainment.
