Vargas, by Reid Austin and
Alberto Vargas. 127 pp. (1978) (Out of Print)
The absolute best for the collector interested in the whole body of Vargas
works, and not just the Esquire and Playboy period. The text is also
very enlightening, and as an autobiography, it provides more information
about Vargas than any other book. The bio information is very helpful,
as it narrows down the dates of some images based on where Vargas was living
when, and who he was doing work for.
Revised softcover edition published by Bell
in 1984. (Out of Print) Paperback edition has Shelly Winters cover.

Varga, (red cover) by Tom Robotham.
128 pp. (1995)
This is the only one of the 3 Robotham books that has images other than
Esquire. It is also the largest, at127 pages. Note however, there
are 2 images that are NOT by Vargas. (p. 127 by Ben-Hur Baz, and an
unknown, possibly Al Moore, on p. 51). The plates are better quality
than the White Robotham book. (Out of Print)

Varga, (white cover) by Tom Robotham.
44 pp. (1995)
This book contains only Esquire images. In the copy I have, the images
are very contrasty, with high color saturation and too light... .a lot of
details in the images are washed out. This may be only a problem with
my copy, but I wouldn't bet on it. It was printed in China, and even
the binding and stitching are of poor quality. The text is
unimpressive. (Out of Print)

Playboy's Vargas Girls Playboy
(1972)
Note the first edition has images that are omitted from later editions.
The first edition can be distinguished in the paperback printing by the fact
the silver title letters are flat, and not embossed/raised. (Out of Print)

Vargas, Benedikt Taschen, text
by Astrid Conte. 79 pp. (1990).
A very good source for other works... some only being reproduced here.
Especially interesting are the pen and ink sketches, and two oils, one of
Anna Mae. Interestingly, there are almost no Esquire images in this
book. (Out of Print)
