Playboy's Girls of Playboy # 3 (1st Printing, Staple Bound)

Being a PLAYBOY editor involves a certain amount of travel: from Chicago to New York to catch up on the latest Broadway personalities; from Chicago to almost anywhere to interview a politician—or a Playmate; from Chicago to Los Angeles for conferences with Editor-Publisher Hugh M. Hefner. And, as any seasoned air traveler knows, that involves a certain amount of waiting—hanging around departure lounges, airport cocktail bars, and, once in the plane, those strapped-in periods for takeoffs and landings. During those waits—and later in the pub lounge, if you've grabbed a flight that has one—casual conversation with fellow passengers sooner or later gets around to questions about one's occupation. "I'm an editor of PLAYBOY," you say, and you can almost see the other guy's eyes go TILT! JACKPOT! Sometimes one will offer to pay you to trade jobs. He's kidding, you suppose, but he seems oddly persistent. Finally, it comes out: "Those girls! Are they running around the office like that all the time? Do you get to meet all of them?" Of course no single PLAYBOY editor gets to meet all the girls. (No married one, either, if you want to be technical.) Nor are there hot and cold running women thronging the 37 floors of the Playboy Building in Chicago. Sorry if that disappoints you, but look at it this way: We're not selfish. The beautiful girls we know, we put on the pages of the magazine to share with you. They are real girls, live, warm, breathing girls, girls with class, and that's what makes PLAYBOY girls special. That is also what has made this Girls of Playboy series special. The first two volumes have sold well over a million copies, and you've been clamoring for more. Well, here we are with Girls of Playboy 3, in which we bring back for your pleasure a plentitude of Playmates (from Donna Michelle, December 1963, to Laura Lyons, February 1976); a batch of Bunnies (e.g., cover girl kenterfolderkottontail Carol Vitale); and an army of actresses (Tina Aumont, lsela Vega, Victoria Principal, Valerie Perrine, Brigitte Bardot, Alexandra Hay, Sylvia Kristel, Gwen Welles, Barbara Leigh, Dayle Haddon, Paula Kelly, Tisa Farrow and—yes—Linda Lovelace and Marilyn Chambers). You'll also find in these pages those talented PLAYBOY favorites, Barbi Benton, Lillian Willer and Claudia Jennings. And you'll see . . . but why delay? Turn the page and start seeing for yourself. —the editors of PLAYBOY Models Daina House (cover) Beth Martin (not nude) Lynn Schiller Naomi Lee Lana Wood (Natalie's sister) Yanya Teran Mesina Miller Tina Aumont Terri Mitchell Isela Vega Laura Misch Cyndi Wood Victoria Principle Kristine Hanson Linda Durst Barbi Benton Mary Wilcox Bebe Buell Brigitte Bardot Alexandra Hay Agneta Eckemyr and Zoe Z.
