Playboy: The Celebrities
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 all posing 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.

Pretty interesting. I might read this again several times.
Some of the pictures are very artistic. I disapprove of artistic photographs with no redeeming porno value. Lookin' at you, Brigitte Nielsen.
Other sets are really campy. A little of that goes a long way.
The pictures are in no discernible order, but there is an index (with links) if you want to skip to, say, V for Vanna. Pamela Sue Martin is NOT in here.
Carol Lynley- you were before my time, but you rock.

A picture book. But a honest picture book. Inside there are no surprises. There are the Playboy photos of women who have gained the celebrity status. It does not suit my taste, but I like the honesty.

Great format, but, with a collections of shootings that, neither shows what really happened along decades, neither shows the most relevant celebrities in the magazine pages
