The Complete Centerfolds

by Hugh Hefner, Dave Hickey (Introduction), Robert Coover (Text)

With the first Centerfold, who just happened to be the radiant Marilyn Monroe, Hugh Hefner masterminded a cultural icon: Playboy's Playmate of the Month. Now, for the first time ever, Playboy has gathered together every Centerfold from every issue into one luxurious collector's edition. That's over 600 beauties. We've reproduced these Centerfolds exactly as they appeared in the magazine to create a full-size, deluxe volume. Paging through this colossal, chronological collection provides a breathtaking view of our evolving appreciation of the female form: from the fifties fantasy of voluptuous blondes to the tawny beach girls of the seventies to the groomed and toned women of today. Housed in a handsome leather briefcase lined with velvet, this impressive tome is the ultimate indulgence for every passionate collector.

this is a delicious book for anyone who is a fan of glamour/bouduir photography. I enjoyed exploring the modesty and fashion that evolved over the decades. such as the very first photograph in Playboy featuring pubic hair in 1971 and the first full frontal nude in January 1972, my birth month. most of the women in Playboy are rather average looking. with some knockouts here and there. but that's the appeal of Playboy. an average girl next door can submit some photos and get a spread and make some money.

From the positive reviews, it looks like no one cares that Hugh Hefner trafficked underaged girls. He was a creep who turned men into sex addicted degenerates who objectified women and underaged girls. The government was bought off to prevent him from getting locked up for trafficking.
