The 2017 edition was not the first iteration. Chronicle Books had previously released an opulent $500, 32-pound first edition in 2007, which was so large it came with its own velvet-lined leather briefcase. A smaller, 6 x 12-inch edition followed a year later for $50. However, the 2017 mid-sized version (8 x 13 inches) with a $75 price tag was special for another reason: it contains the final foreword Hugh Hefner would ever write. Following his death in September 2017, Chronicle Books immediately went back to press, increasing the print run, and within months there were approximately 25,000 to 30,000 copies of this specific edition in print.
The official hardcover edition is widely available. It can be purchased through major book retailers: Can’t copy the link right now
