Please review all photos for contents and condition.
Condition:
Both books are pre-owned vintage copies. Playboy’s Vargas Girls shows substantial wear to the covers and edges, and a previous owner applied clear tape over the front and back covers, apparently to help preserve them. The tape has some bubbling/air pockets, particularly along the left side of the front cover. Interior pages are in very good condition overall and everything appears to be present. Vargas 20s-50s is in good overall vintage condition with some light cover, edge and surface wear. Interior pages appear clean and very good overall. Please see photos closely for the exact condition of both books.
