Cartoon Coordinator Jennifer Thiele was at a great party last night and brings us this report:
Last night we celebrated the release of Playboy's Silverstein Around the World, a collection of travel essays by beloved cartoonist and writer, Shel Silverstein. The book comprises all 23 of his illustrated travelogues that were published in the magazine from 1957 to 1968 and includes a touching foreword from Hef, an insightful introduction written by Mitch Myers and many photographs, some never published before.
The intimate gathering was held at the beautiful Rizzoli bookstore on 57th street in New York City and included an exhibition of 11 original pieces of Shel’s artwork.
Guests included Christie Hefner, Mitch Myers, Playmate Stephanie Adams and many of Playboy’s wonderful contributing cartoonists, pictured after the jump.
