Absolutely. I bought a book of the best SciFi shorts from Playboy at Costco a few years back.
EDIT: Here it is. Silverberg, Niven, Clarke, Bradbury, Dick, VONNEGUT....a veritable laundry list of my favorite authors. Oh and uh....Billy Crystal too.
The Playboy Book of Science Fiction is a who's who of classic science fiction authors. There was a lot of good prose in Playboy over the years.
