Did you know Hugh Hefner holds
the
Guinness World Record
for owning the largest personal
scrapbook collection in the world?
When
he was not building the global Playboy empire, he spent his
Saturdays compiling more than 3,000 scrapbooks, chronicling free
speech and press issues during his lifetime.
Stuart N. Brotman, professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, was granted exclusive access to Hefner’s scrapbooks. On today’s episode, he talks about what he found and about his new book, “The First Amendment Lives On: Conversations Commemorating Hugh M. Hefner's Legacy of Enduring Free Speech and Free Press Values.”
