The fortieth anniversary celebration revisits and remembers Playboy's extraordinary journey--the triumphs and tragedies, the strategies and surprises, the mansion and the mystique, the legend and the playmates--in a visually stunning Playboy scrapbook.

Formed in 1953, "Playboy" has grown to become the most popular magazine for men. This book presents 40 years of "Playboy", including articles, interviews, artworks, cartoons, and playmates.

Direct from the Playboy archives comes an incredible collection of the world's most popular men's magazine's main attraction: thousands of photographs of 512 gorgeous Playmates.Every single one of the Playmates is featured with memorable (and some never previously published) shots of their famous Playboy magazine appearances, and many include up-to-the-minute capsule biographies. Particularly intriguing is the fact that Hugh Hefner has opened up his private, never-before-seen personal photo albums, and he provides reminiscences about the women he knew whom the rest of the world could only dream about. The Playmate Book is a surefire hit for every man waiting to rediscover the women he grew up with.
