Contributing Editor Don Labriola took a look at both of these box sets for our holiday gift guide category.

Playboy Cover to Cover: The 50s. We all know that it was the interviews, cartoons, and Leonard Feather jazz reviews that made Playboy magazine an enormously influential cultural artifact of the 20th century. So those of you who have a purely historical interest in the magazine will love Bondi Digital Publishing’s Playboy Cover to Cover: The 50s, a two-disc set that contains a searchable database of every page of every issue published from 1953 through 1959 (later decades to be released next year).

Rolling Stone Cover to Cover: The First 40 Years
Just as cool is Bondi’s four-disc Rolling Stone Cover to Cover: The First 40 Years, which combines the same outstanding Bondi Reader program with a 98,000-page searchable database of every issue of the magazine, from the earliest tabloids through 2007’s double-size Fortieth Anniversary edition.
