Original July 1987 “Beach Party!” issue of Playboy magazine featuring 20 pages of sun, surf, and sex, with smart‑talk features on Wade Boggs, Garry Shandling, Little Richard, and the Beastie Boys, plus a John Gotti/“Why the Godfather Walked” article. The issue includes a Playboy Interview with Wade Boggs, a “Beach Ball!” pictorial, “Meet Ellen Stohl,” lifestyle and fiction pieces, and a striking back‑cover Toyota MR2 “The One for Fun” sports‑car advertisement that appeals to ’80s auto enthusiasts. Your copy shows light to moderate reading wear—cover gloss with some rubbing and edge/spine stress, mild corner wear, and age‑toned pages with normal handling—but appears complete; confirm that the centerfold and key features (Beach Party, Beastie Boys, MR2 ad) are intact and note any tears, stains, labels, or writing for buyers.
