Newsstand Specials of the late 1980s and early 1990s would often feature previously unpublished outtakes from Playmate pictorials, but also a number of 'one-shot' models, possibly posing under a pseudonym or unnamed entirely, bought in bulk from glamour photographers. The greatly increased demand for new photos to fill the 24 editions published annually-reprints from the early 1970s having little erotic value to readers twenty years later-required Playboy to look further than their own archives to fill the page count. Each Newsstand Special would have a two-month shelf life, with two titles published each month. The magazine sold extremely well, and a second edition, in 1987, proved the market was there for the Newsstand Specials, as they were formally called at this time, to begin a regular, formal sales cycle. In 1984, Playboy published the first volume of its flagship Special Edition, Book of Lingerie, which featured 110 pages of photos of Playmates from the last decade (reprints and outtakes, with no specially commissioned photos). One release, 1976's Noelle, was quite notorious in its day for its racy content. In the 1970s, perhaps in conjunction with the appearance of Oui, the special editions would feature somewhat more explicit photography or situations than Playboy itself would run at the time. A 1972 Little Annie Fanny special is highly sought after by Harvey Kurtzman collectors. Its 120 pages contained a sixteen-page Jayne Mansfield pictorial, but was otherwise filled with articles, including the celebrated 1962 interview with Miles Davis. The first edition, The Best from Playboy in 1964, was nothing like the present-day specials. Playboy magazine began supplementing its monthly edition in the mid-1960s with irregularly published special editions devoted to, for example, its cartoons or the Playboy Clubs.

2.6.26 Women of the World/Girls of the World/Sexy Girls of the World.

2.6.17 Nude Celebrities/Sexy Celebrities.

2.6.11 Girls of Summer/Sexy Summer Girls.

By the mid-1990s, Playboy had established a unique identity for the line by mixing new shots of recent Playmates with new models, some of whom soon became as popular as the Playmates themselves.

Issues from the early 1990s began to include a number of 'one-shot' models purchased in bulk from glamour photographers. In addition, the models that appear in the Special Editions are not necessarily former Playmates of the Month, though such Playmates also appear in them.Įarly issues, beginning in 1983, featured approximately 100 pages of old reprint and outtake photos of Playmates with no specially commissioned photos.

Approximately two issues are published each month. Unlike the monthly magazine, which features a variety of articles, opinion columns, and works of fiction, the only texts found in the Special Editions are captions of the photographs and readers' letters.
