WHERE'D THOSE OLD MAGAZINE COME FROM?
......and a little Playboy history.
There was a period of time in the early 80's when the contributing photographers at Playboy got a copy of every single edition Playboy published around the world. It was a wonderful courtesy to the photographers because the magazines was adding a lot of new editions and potentially anything a photographer like Robert Scott Hooper did for the American edition appeared in thos...e countries too.
The foreign editions could produce their own pictorials as well as their own Playmates which really showed you the diversity of beauty around the world. Censorship was an issue with some editions in those days. Japan, Mexico and others could not run photos with pubic hair, which meant that the photographers had to make sure they kept the girl covered in enough photos for a layout. In places like Japan, they had workers to inspect every magazine and cover with black ink any parts that were objectionable. That's why every single fold out (gatefold) done in those days had a matching photo taken that could run in those censored countries. One for the US that could show her totally naked and another, almost exactly the same except for a garment or something covering her nether parts. It was pretty easy in Debra Jo Fondren's 1977 centerfold, 52 inches of hair did the job.
WHAT GREAT CONDITION THEY ARE IN!
It was great to get 8 or 9 issues of foreign Playboy mags every month, but we couldn't spend a lot of time with most of them because we couldn't read them. So they pretty much got thumbed through once to see if there were any Hooper photos in them and then they were put away in cabinets. Essentially they have been handled only a couple of times, once when we got them and once to get them ready for this auction. If there is any wear and tear it will be on the cover from how they were shipped. I will point out any particular flaws with each magazine, but for the most part they will all be "very good" or "like new". In all cases, the photo shown was taken by me for this auction and will pretty much show you the true condition of the magazine. If you have any questions, please contact me.
