About This Item
San Francisco: Chronicle Books, 2004. First edition, Second printing. Large quarto. Playboy Magazine Founder Hugh Hefner's Copy. From the library of Hugh Hefner with a Hefner bookplate and a letter of provenance from the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation. Opening with an introduction by Hugh Hefner, this is a terrific collection of comics which appeared during 50 years of publication of Hefner's Playboy Magazine. The Playboy Magazine founder was an avid book and art collector, movie aficionado and print lover, and his library was loaded with items (like this) reflecting his passions. Bound in the publisher's glossy red boards. Contents clean and bright. Boards square and tight. In the illustrated dust jacket and uncommon publisher's wraparound title band, with the jacket being really sharp and the band being lightly worn.
