Penthouse Celebrates 40th Anniversary With Collector’s Edition

“The 40th anniversary issue features the best of Penthouse from yesterday and today,” Executive Editor Barbara Rice Thompson said. “We are extremely proud of the magazine and excited for Penthouse loyalists to see what we have in store for them! This special issue also shows new readers the high-quality erotic images and editorial they can expect every month in our 21st century incarnation.”

The company reports that many wholesalers and specialty distributor accounts internationally have ordered additional copies in anticipation of increased sales of the special issue. According to the company, it also has expanded its distribution to include several new major retail chains.

In promotion of the anniversary issue, Penthouse Pets Julie Strain, Taylor Vixen and Aimee Sweet, as well as the Manhattan Madam and Kristin Davis, are scheduled to appear on various media outlets.
