We'd dominate the newspaper business if we could do this every day. Fortunately for the daily press, we can't. How could it compete with our ear-reddening interview with Pete Rose, our controversial pictorial of Ivy League coeds or our visit with brainy and beautiful Playmate Vicki McCarty? But though this cover by Executive Art Director Tom Staebler and Senior Art Director Len Willis is appealing, you might not want a daily Playboy; you wouldn't have time to savor one issue before the next landed at your door.

Nick Nolte is interviewed in th April 1999 issue.
Margaret Thatcher appears in Playboy? Strange but true, on page 282, thankfully she's conservatively clothed.
If you look at the cover of this issue you will see that there are 2 stars next to the P in Playboy. Sometimes they appeared within the P itself but anyway this is the last issue to have them. From 1955 up until this issue (except for a six-month period in 1976) they indicated the different advertising regions of which there were 13 at it's peak. These were, Chicago Metropolitan, New York Metropolitan, Southern California, Northern California, Central, Eastern, Western, Southeastern, Southwestern, Canada, International, United Kingdom and Military.
286 pages of period adverts, pin ups and articles with lots of quality photographs and illustrations.
