Playboy Magazine, April 1977
This item is the April 1977 issue of Playboy Magazine, a prominent men's lifestyle and entertainment publication from the late 20th century, identifiable by its standard dimensions of approximately 11" x 8.3". The cover features a woman in a suggestive pose, seated on what appears to be an ornate, dark-colored chair. She is wearing what looks like white, vintage-style undergarments, specifically a lacy, open-front top with a tie closure and matching lacy shorts or bloomers. A notable accessory is a blue military-style cap worn on her head. The 'PLAYBOY' logo is prominently displayed at the top center in large, bold, yellowish-orange letters against a dark blue background. To the right of the logo, 'APRIL 1977' and the price '$1.50' are visible. A purple-bordered box on the right side of the cover contains the text 'GIRLS OF THE NEW SOUTH'. The left side of the cover lists various articles and features, including 'EXCLUSIVE: THE SECRET FILES OF HOWARD HUGHES', 'A POWERFUL DEATH-ROW INTERVIEW WITH GARY GILMORE', 'THE FEMALE ORGASM: ARE MEN OBSOLETE?', and 'DAN GREENBURG GOES TO SEX HEAVEN'. The magazine is constructed from typical paper and ink materials. Its condition is fair to good, exhibiting significant signs of wear consistent with its age, including creasing and fraying along the edges and spine. A small tear is present near the top left corner. Additionally, scuffing and discoloration are visible across the cover, indicating handling and exposure over time. Despite these condition issues, the overall visual integrity of the cover design and typography remains largely intact, showcasing its vintage Americana and pop culture aesthetic from the 1970s.
