Product Description

For the first time ever, "Playboy" has collected together every single Centerfold from every single issue. That's over 600 beauties. In this luxurious volume, we've reproduced these Centerfolds exactly as they appeared in the magazine (one foot by nearly two feet tall). Housed in a handsome linen-covered clamshell art box carrying case, this colossal, chronological collection is the ultimate indulgence for any passionate "Playboy" aficionado. With an intro from Hugh Hefner and chapter openers from venerable contemporary writers (Robert Coover, Juno Diaz, Jay McInerney, Jane Smiley, Robert Stone, and Paul Theroux), the authoritative selling power behind this book is undeniable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thanks Hugh!, 1 Dec 2007

By	Robin Benson - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

I think I'll leave it to others to write reviews about the deep philosophical significance of the Playboy centerfolds and contemporary American society. My capsule review is: here's a very heavy book with hundreds of photos of gorgeous females.

The following are a few random thoughts on this amazing book.
* The total weight of this (reassuringly?) expensive package is thirty pounds, the combination lock case weighs five pounds. You can check out the dimensions in the Product Details section.
* Production values are suitably sumptuous with photos printed in 200dpi screen on good paper and an obviously robust black binding holds it all together. The carrying case acts in lieu of a book jacket I guess.
* The centerfolds in the book are the same size as those in the perfect bound magazine. For many years Playboy was stapled and the centerfolds were a bit deeper by about three-quarters of an inch.
* There seems to be some confusion about how many Playmates and centerfolds are included in the unnumbered pages, 640 are in the index, from Rhonda Adams (June 1995) to Pamela Zinser (March 1974) but Janet Pilgrim made it three times. Marilyn Waltz and Marguerite Empey both appeared twice. Some centers featured two Playmates: the Collinson twins (October 1970) Carol and Darlene Beraola (January 2000) Deisy and Sarah Teles (December 2003) and the Dahm's (Erica, Nicole and Jacclyn) all appeared in December 1998. Playboy started in December 1953 (but no issue for March 1955) and the last photo in the book is December 2006. You can relax though because I've counted the pages (it took some time) and there are 638 centerfolds. October 1958 included two centers (Mara Corday and Pat Sheehan) as did January 1974 but here it was the front and back of the delightful Nancy Cameron.
* Five lucky photographers seem to have spent their lives telling Playmates to "Look straight at the camera, imagine it's your lover!", Mario Casilli, Richard Fegley, Arny Freytag, Pompeo Posar and Stephen Wayda have, between them, taken over 350 centers. The index lists sixty-nine photographers.
* Sure it's an indulgence but if you have to justify the purchase to anyone just say as well as being a huge coffee table book it IS a coffee table. Put a pile of your back issues at either end and voila!
* One problem remains though just where am I going to keep such a huge book?
