Playboy Brunettes

by James R. Petersen (Text)

From Playboy's classic archives comes a trilogy of stocking-stuffer-sized volumes, each devoted to a certain hair color destined to quicken a man's pulse. Blonde? Brunette? Redhead? In the fifties, sixties, and seventies, it seemed like all the Playboy models, not just blondes, had more fun. Building sandcastles in the buff, romping on tiger skin rugs, or starting pillow fights, beauties of every tress are captured in these timeless color photographs. Playboy contributing editor James R. Petersen introduces each book with a heartfelt text, and witty quotes are sprinkled throughout. At once evocative and whimsical, this handsome collection is a perfect gift for a gentlemanwhether he prefers a blonde, marries a brunette, or has always had a thing for a redhead.

Moving on from Playboy Blondes to brunettes!

A collection of brunette Playmates, celebrities, and other models who appeared in Playboy during the 50s, 60s, and early 70s which also includes an enjoyable introductory essay and witty quotes about brunettes sprinkled throughout the book.

Now to complete the trilogy with red heads.

[Jeff · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this very enjoyable with a cigar and a glass of rye whisky and sometimes I think reading is a lost art. This book starts with a great essay on brunettes and has a lot of great photos, of course, and quotes about brunettes. Now on to the blondes and redheads.
