EDITORIAL NOTE
Our Knave ladies might not have bits of holly sticking in them or be wearing hired Santa Claus outfits, but you have to admit that some of our articles this month are nothing if not seasonal—what with Knave's candid look at parties (and because we're Knavish, it has to be sex parties!), with our expose of rigged racing and with our look ahead to 1976 in famous, some might say infamous, Sex Doctor Martin Cole's exclusive revelations of his provocative plans for the New Year. We hope you don't mind us not worrying too much about our nude beauties not being covered in snow and so on—Mandy Moore is a prize example as she takes us back to Summer with her poolside delights. But everybody we spoke to said they couldn't care tuppence about whether it's summery or wintery in the background, as long as the pictures of the ladies are hot stuff! Equally, it might be chilly in Britain but lots of our readers overseas sweat out this month ... and we ignore our Knave friends abroad at our peril nowadays. They have done more than their bit in making Knave, and its companion magazine Fiesta, without question Britain's fastest-growing magazines for men. Moreover, these sales overseas mean a lot to us, as we are very much patriots—although some of our bigoted fellow-countrymen (and the occasional countrywoman) obviously don't realise it, as they pursue their eccentric campaigns to "clean up" a fast growing and valuable export! Let's face it, if we carry on doing so well and so many other businesses carry on doing so badly, the day might not be so far off when what you are now reading is keeping Britannia afloat ...

Knave magazine is a long-established British pornographic magazine, published by Galaxy Publications. It is the upmarket sister publication of Fiesta magazine.

Along with many other adult magazines, Knave has published the works of popular authors, including Harlan Ellison. Ellison's short story "The Pied Piper of Sex" was first published in the March 1959 issue under the name Paul Merchant, whilst "The Man with the Green Nose", also known as "Survivor No. 1", and co-written with Henry Slesar, first appeared in the September 1959 issue. Other people to have been published at Knave include Kim Newman, Dave Langford, and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman's early short stories, including "We Can Get Them For You Wholesale", were published within the magazine; he also worked at the magazine in many roles, including celebrity interviewer and book reviewer. Gaiman began work at the magazine in 1984 but left in the late 80s because an editorial change resulted in the magazine concentrating more heavily on pornographic content.

Eric Fuller, credited by The Guardian as "the man behind the success of Dennis Publishing's lad-mag, Maxim", also worked for the magazine for a time.
