Glimpse is the new bi-monthly publication from Tony Nylons, recreating some of the titillating humour found in magazines from the 1940s through to the ‘60s – but featuring genuine stockings lovers from today. This is really fun and packed with stylish and good humoured photography. It’s good value at £25 for 6 issues (£35 overseas) for a 64 page A5 magazine
