Product Description
Product Description
From Marilyn Monroe to Cindy Crawford, Linda Evans to Farrah Fawcett, "Playboy" has celebrated the sensuality (and even launched a few careers) of celebrities for more than fifty years. Here, in all their glory, are over 150 breathtaking photographs of the magazine's most famous heavenly bodies. Celebrity models such as Naomi Campbell and Stephanie Seymour, Playmates Jenny McCarthy and Pamela Anderson, rockers such as Debbie Harry, and many more reveal allposing for equally renowned photographers such as Herb Ritts and David LaChapelle. With an introduction by Hugh Hefner himself and an afterword by Gary Cole, the magazine's director of photography for the past 30 years, this definitive collection from "Playboy" is a potent portfolio of celebrity nudes.

Format:Hardcover
A worthy addition to anyone's bookshelf. Included are the likes of Marilyn, Naomi Campbell, Jayne Mansfield, Madonna, Pamela Anderson and many, many others. Admittedly some names have been left out but then again if all the celebs who have appeared within the pages of Playboy over the years were included the edition would have probably run into a second volume. Also some of the photos are not Playboy originals such as the famous upskirt shot of Sharon Stone and the photos of Bo Derek were apparently taken by her husband. But nevertheless, not to be missed.

I bought this book as part of a package with Playboy-50 Years and the Complete Playboy Centrefolds (small edition); well, it was only a few pounds extra! It is produced to the same very high quality as the other books, the look and feel are stunning but it does not really add much value to the trio. That said, it is fascinating and sometimes surprising to see who has taken the plunge and bared all over the years and I am glad that I have the complete set of these very attractive and gently erotic books.

Disappointing book from Playboy
25 Oct 2006
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have collected the many hard cover books Playboy has put out, and was looking forward to this one. It was a big disappointment. Playboy has 5 decades of celebrities to choose from, and yet so many were left out. Part of the reason for that is there's one photo per the page, which quickly fills a coffee table book. I would have prefered smaller, multiple photos with some text on each page. As was pointed out in a review above- where was Sherilynn Fenn? Joan Collins? Pamela Tiffin? Lana Wood? Fran Jeffries? I also have a problem with including "celebrities" that were also centerfolds. Erica Eleniak? Shannon Tweed? The Girls Next Door? Barbie Benton? Ok, maybe Pam Anderson would count as a celeb, but some of the others don't rank as celebs in my book. Yet they get extensive coverage in here. I was really looking forward to a single, comprehensive book on celebrities that have appeared in Playboy. Not the first installment of a multi-edition collection. It'll be hard to pass on this one because it has some wonderful photos of the celebrities that it does include. But it could've been a lot, lot better.

Format:Hardcover
I enjoyed this book. It has some very iconic images, especially the Marilyn Monroe pics. I was a little disappointed,however as it is by no means a complete overview of all the celebrities who have appeared in the magazine.They seem to have arbitrarily choosen who to include.Where are, Tiffany,Vanity, Kristy Swanson,Joanie Lawler,and most puzziling Joan Collins? I guess they'll be in volume 2.

I bought this for an early Christmas gift for my fiance' and we both love it. There's a sampling of all kinds in here - from young to older, earthy to, well, Pamela, and dated to modern.
