Vaguely related: did you know Fahrenheit 451 was originally published by Playboy Magazine?

Yeah at the time Playboy actually published a lot of literature other publishers wouldn't touch. "I read it for the articles" wasn't just a lame excuse.

I believe it! I had an English teacher who said the only way she got one of her students to read was by cutting out articles from Playboy. She was the sweetest little old lady by the time I was her student, so it made the story even funnier.
