Looking at this you would expect to find quite a few of these magazines but you won't, especially in US. Notable for the photos from 1960's that will not be found elsewhere. Photos focus more on island life than on the natural beauty. The ads and business directory are wonderful sources of information. Please see scans of the item you will receive.
