Hef’s Little Black Book
Hefner and Zehme
2004
I know all you playboys out there want Hef’s inside secrets with the ladies. Well wonder no more, you can find Hef’s personal “little black book” at the library. In addition, Hef gives you all sorts of life advice about business and self-confidence. Meeting is in the bedroom. Pajamas are optional.
I see it’s the kind of book which goes all-in for branding (Look, Isn’t Hef the Most Awesome Dude EVER?).
2004? It looks from the cover to have been published in 1974!
Well, then that means a lot of dudes are reading it!
The cover looks pretty beat up, so I might weed for condition, but 2004 biographies circ pretty well where I work, and I don’t think I’d replace this unless there’s a much newer Hefner autobio out there. Is it well written? Politically agreeable? No, but if it’s what patrons want, so be it.
I’d weed it out of jealousy….
Billie Holliday sang Good Morning Heartache and Strange Fruit, I don’t think anyone wants their life to be like those songs….
