Product Description
Following the remarkable success of last year's limited deluxe edition we're pleased to present The Complete Centerfolds in a new compact package. The content remains the same?every Centerfold from every issue. That's over 600 beauties. We've also added the Centerfolds from 2007 to make this Playboy's most complete photographic volume to date. Hefner introduces the book and literary luminaries including Paul Theroux Jay McInerney and Daphne Merkin comment on the social mores and cultural climate of each decade. This chronological collection provides an unparalleled 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. The Complete Centerfolds is a breathtaking tour de force.

 The classiest American ladies! November 29, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got this book as a birthday gift. It is absolutely smashing. It chronicles the Playmates from 1950's onward. The color photography is marvelous as is the class and beauty of women photographed. Beautiful poses in lingerie, fully nude, indoors and outdoors are seen in this chronicle. Playboy has always featured women who are FEMININE, classy, beautiful, energetic, and not afraid to demonstrate their female sexuality. This book represents women as a beautiful art form. The classic, and wonderful, woman is celebrated repeatedly in this book. This book is outstandingly beautiful. This book would be an excellent gift for any woman's husband, boyfriend, fiancee or adult son. SUPER!!!!
Best Playboy book so far. November 28, 2008

Previous playboy books really didn't give you the breadth and scope of playboy. I am referring to the explosion of playboy books that came out around the 50th anniversary. Playboy itself has been straightforward and easy to follow. Only a simple book like this one could correctly compliment the feeling I have for playboy. It's not a cut and paste of playboys archives by what an editor thinks you might like to see it is the archive itself. It is simple; a book of naked women. About 700 of them. Don't over complicate--enjoy.
It is well worth the Amazon price November 15, 2008

Just received this & i dont know what the other reviewer was talking about there is only one women per page in the early era. It is well worth the price the other edition for $200.00 is out of my price range but this one for $30.00 is well worth it. As i thought when you get close to the newest centerfolds of 2007 the pubic hair is gone which i find boring i prefer the women as nature intended with all or some hair intact. Hefner should go retro & demand that the women of today keep some of there pubic hair & shaven is sooo boring but thats my bone to pick with current women anyway this is worth buying.
Yes! Yes! Yes! November 10, 2008

The Ultimate Book of Boobs. Wow! 600 or so lovely ladies displaying their hidden treasures. Every possible shape, size and color. Book is well worth it. Hi quality photos and paper. Compact size. Weighs a ton. Hard to resist once it's in your home.
An Enjoyable Look at Over 5 Decades of Playmates October 28, 2008

If you've been a fan or even casual reader/veiwer of Playboy over the years, you'll really enjoy this book. The book is nicely put together in a narrow hard cover that features the playmate centerfolds as they were presented in the magazine each month from 1953 through 2007 (without the staples in the middle of the image). I would not have purchased this book had it not been released by Chronicle Books - in the much less expensive compact and updated version with 2007 Playmates, not featured in the first version in a larger format at $200.00 or more. Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds is a playmate pictorial archive that is both enjoyable to look at and interesting to consider as you see how iconic beauty (according to Playboy) has changed over the years.
