Although Playboy is what it is, and because of the reason why many people purchase the magazine, there needs to be an understanding of the true content of the magazine through the years. Remember that the magazine is usually only 20% sex and nude women. That leaves 80% every month to be used for art, technology, controversial editorials, interviews, etc. This tome is huge and heavy, and I'm glad it takes the reader through a tour of 50 years of the COMPLETE world of Playboy. If you only want naked women, don't buy this - buy either "The Playmate Book" or "Blondes", "Brunettes", or "Redheads".

Superb photo history of the first 50 years of Playboy magazine! The evolution of this groundbreaking publication is nothing short of amazing. I have always loved "vintage" Playboy photography and illustrations, and the Playboy book delivers this BIG time! Also, the DVD's of Playboy After Hours, and Playboy's Penthouse are incredible too. I'm glad I was able to obtain a "used" copy of The Playboy Book in such great condition, for such a great price! This tome is a great addition to my library. Thanks!

having grown up with playboy and as an adult continuing to enjoy the publication i found this book to be a masterpiece. both in the writing and the outstanding photos presented. especially enjoyed the pull out with all the covers since playboys debut! the legend of playboy is most certainly revered, respected and uplifted by this publication! a must have for anyone that has and continues to enjoy the magic that is playboy magazine.
most tastefully presented, like a book of fine art!

This book was definitely more than I expected with it's vibrant pictures and outstanding content. It gives you an in-depth peek into the world of Playboy above and beyond the photos. I also found the simple black hardcover to be very discreet.
