It may seem hard to believe now but Hugh Hefner used to be quite the innovator and rebel. This collection from Taschen contains a detailed reproduction of the very first issue of Playboy featuring Marilyn Monroe. With over 700 pages of content pulled from Hefner's personal archives including cartoons, behind the scenes photos and letters a complex portrait of the man is presented. Although including 59 of the magazines best centerfolds it's not all T&A. Work by authors Ray Bradbury, Gore Vidal and Jack Kerouac are included along with interviews with Martin Lurther King and John Lennon. At a price tag of $1000 this collection is only for truest of fans.
