PLAYBOY - Marilyn Monroe – Mint Condition VOL. 1, NO. 1 DECEMBER 1953 ISSUE (LIMITED EDITION REPRINT) MARILYN MONROE IN HER FAMOUS PLAYBOY DEBUT This is an exact reprinting of the entire December 1953 Volume 1 Issue 1 Playboy Magazine. This issue was printed in 2007 when PLAYBOY Enterprises decided to satisfy requests from PLAYBOY fans across the board. The response was an almost exact reprint of the iconic 1953 issue. This is one of only 20,000 printed, and it's an exact replica of Vol. 1 No. 1. Two minor differences identify it as a reprinted issue: It has a three-staple binding unlike the original two staples back in ’53 . The black block in the upper right-hand corner extends to the upper edge whereas the original has a square 3/8" down from the edge.Other than that EVERYTHING is the same: Paper stock ~ Advertisements ~ Editorial content ~ Layout ~ Pictorials ~ Artwork ~ Articles CONTENTS ARE: · Sweetheart of the Month Marilyn Monroe, nude on red velvet · Unnamed California Woman pictorial - Swimming in the nude · First appearance by Mr. Playboy · Rabbit Bachelor · Miss Gold-Digger of 1953 by Bob Norman · Strip Quiz · Tales from the Decameron (new translation of Boccaccio) by Norman Holland · Playboy's Party Jokes · VIP on Sex (Cartoons by Virgil Franklin Partch II) · Introducing Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle · read more
