Item description from seller

From the private library of Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner (1926-2017). As was his practice, Hefner inserted paperclips throughout the text and marked pertinent passages. In this instance, the marginalia indicates a particular interest in Dr. James J. Brophy. Accompanied by sheet from Hefner's notepad, a Hefner bookplate, and a letter of provenance from the Hugh M. Hefner Foundation. Drawing from interviews with over 260 scientists, administrators, and journalist, Taubes brings to life one of the greatest scientific frauds of our times with the story of the two obscure researchers who claimed to have discovered a clean, no-fuss method for harnessing the energy of a hydrogen bomb. Octavo: xxi, [1], 503, [3] pp. Original black paper-covered boards over a gray cloth spine, with silver-stamped titles. The dust jacket is lightly edgeworn, with a minor crease to the front flap; otherwise very good.
