Summary: A great magazine, but abysmal print quality.
Comment: I like the magazine, but the past 2 years the print quality has been the absolute worst. I can't find a single magazine on the entire news stand with more shoddy printing than Playboy. It is not damage, it comes from the printers that way. Every single issue will be like that. I can get one in the mail with a warped spine and other defects. Then get one at a book store with identical problems. Then order one from Amazon with the same problems. Then get one from another city, or another seller, with the exact same problems.
I have brought this to their attention. They just don't care. Before early 2007, the quality was great, straight flat spine, no defects of any kind. If you did find a bad one, a good copy was easy to find. Now it's all crap.
It's really a shame too, it has great articles and pictures. I still like to read it. But I don't understand how they are not completely embarrassed to have by far the worst print quality of any magazine currently in circulation.
Another thing that puzzles me. How is it possible for the news stand specials (lingerie, nudes, etc.) to be perfect, yet the main magazine to be all bent up?

Summary: the articles really are good
Comment: it's a cliche, but I really do enjoy the articles... it's certainly better than GQ or Maxim.... and hey, naked women are awesome.

Summary: I Still Read the Articles...Sometimes
Comment: PLAYBOY just isn't what it was even as soon as ten years ago. Major celebrities don't pose for it; the ones who do are of the "Oh, I remember her" variety, the interviews aren't revelatory, and "The PLAYBOY Forum" has been supplanted by The Huffington Post, Daily Kos, et al. "Grapevine" is a pathetic collection of six-month old paparazzi nipple-slip photos, the fiction is just OK, and the fashion pages are nothing compared to what you'll find in Details or Nylon Guys.
Personally I'm also tired of seeing Marilyn Monroe pop up in almost every issue. I get that Hef has never gotten over her but I'm sure most of today's male readership just don't care.
I'm something of a traditionalist. I like holding the magazine in my hands and turning the pages, much like I enjoy reading my morning paper with hot coffee. After nearly ten years it appears that is the only thing keeping PLAYBOY coming to my home.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Love it
Comment: Love Playboy now just as much as I did 20 years ago. Love the articles and the pictures! Would be nice if more of the women were over 20 and more diverse, but what can you do?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good Eye Candy
Comment: Take a break, soothe the eyes on the eye candy photos inside.
Some pretty good articles too.
Nice summer "reading."
