Unfortunately the centerfolds from 9/55, 6/56, and 1/58 are missing; a coupon has been cut from the 12/56 issue; and the 3/59 issue has two tape tears on the front cover, so... tell you what -- we'll include copies of the two hard-to-find hardbacks, <B>The Best From Playboy</B></I> (1954) and <B>Playboy Annual</B></I> #1 (1955). Entertainment for Men, indeed!
