Playboy interviews used to be great! There was no limit in length or content. The interviewer was allowed to ask whatever he wanted. If you get a Playboy from the 60s or the 70s, the interviews fill 20 pages and more. No pics, only text. Unimaginable nowadays in a printed product.
I bought some old Playboys because of this (Castro, Connery, Dylan etc.)
There are also books with the interviews only [the directors (Clint Eastwood, Billy Wilder, Orson Wells etc.), larger than life etc.]. Great reads.

- mironathetin 12y agoI was waiting for this comment :o). Indeed, the interviews were designed to give more credibility to the Playboy and give a wider range of men an excuse to buy them. This worked out perfectly, if you ask me. But, the interviews developed into much more than just an excuse. They are a genuine piece of great journalism. Even though they are surrounded with boobs - which isn't totally uncomfortable for the reader, too - is it?
