Original June 1971 issue of Playboy magazine, featuring the special “Playmates of the Year—Past and Present” cover and pictorial plus a personality feature on “The 24 Hours of Steve McQueen” and a major Playboy Interview with Albert Speer. Inside you also get a Vargas Girl pinup, articles like “Center Court” by John McPhee, “The Sounds of Silence,” drink feature “Absinthe,” and a Little Annie Fanny strip by Harvey Kurtzman and Will Elder. This copy is in fair to good vintage condition: the cover shows edge and spine wear with some small tears and creases, and the back cover Mustang Mach 1 ad has noticeable rubbing and soiling; interior pages are age‑toned with handling wear but appear complete with no intentional cutouts
