This sharp, classic black covered book stores the complete 50 year history of the Playboy Empire. Reviewing all content of this book (from cover to cover) makes you feel as though your not only walking through time, but gives you the advantage and a good understanding of what Hugh Hefner and his Playboy Empire are all about. Ultimate information and untimely photographs make this book a "must" for the Playboy collector and the like. Get your hands on it while it's hot!

"Este on-liner publicado originalmente por Playboy en la década de los 90, recoge a la perfección el espíritu de los volúmenes conmemorativos de los 50 años de la revista editados por TASCHEN. Compilados por Gretchen Edgren, redactora de la publicación por más de 25 años, los tomos Cincuenta años y el libro de las Playmates son un viaje retrospectivo y nostálgico al pasado. A través de las fotografías de las mujeres más bellas y de los grandes talentos que las han acompañado en sus páginas durante más de cinco décadas se nos presenta la historia del siglo XX tan válida como cualquier otra."Alter Ego, MadridSpain |

"With its trademark black cover, adorned with the trademark rabbit ears, you would expect to find pages and pages of the seductive nudes the magazine is known for. And, yes, there`s plenty of that here. But there`s also so much more: cartoons; interviews snippets from a mélange of subjects (including Princess Grace, Raquel Welch, Bob Dylan, Martin Luther King Jr., Fidel Castro); amazing layouts that accompany fiction by the likes of Joyce Carol Oates, Scott Turow and other literary lights; wonderfully detailed caricatures; provocative art illustrating articles on the Vietnam War, AIDS, the O.J. trial, and other issues of the day."Rocky Mountain News, DenverUnited States |
|
"A sweeping retrospective of the men`s magazine, complete with a pictorial visit to the fabled Playboy mansion and a complete collection of all 600 Playmates of the Month, which also unofficially provides fascinating insights into how body image has changed over the past half-century."Atlanta Journal-Constitution, AtlantaUnited States |

"Les 50 années de la vie du célèbre magazine masculin, vues de façon chronologique à travers un florilège des meilleurs interviews, couvertures et photographies de…playmates, évidemment."Photo, ParisFrance |

"50 ans écrit en lettres dorées, une couverture noire qui ne laisse rien transparaître, les initiés auront reconnu l`emblème, un lapin stylisé. Comme un pied de nez à son succès et à ses détracteurs, Playboy ne s`affiche pas en couverture pour fêter son cinquantenaire. A l`intérieur, l`ouvrage, chronologique, fait défiler une fois encore les playmates et stars nues, l`humour ravageur de leur BD et caricatures, l`ironie des reportages de l`américain way of life et les talentueuses interviews des Miles Davis, Malcom X et autre Madonna. La photographie s`exprime dans une liberté et un talent qui rend bien pâles pas mal de créations contemporaines."De l'air, ParisFrance |

"Indispensable! Afin de fêter les 50 ans de Playboy, ce superbe livre abondamment illustré retrace l`incroyable histoire de Hugh Hefner et du plus célèbre magazine du monde et vous fait partager les moment les plus extravagants. En compagnie des Playmates bien sûr."Couples, ParisFrance |
