Great visual story telling from an acclaimed master
For those men with a special fondness for Female Superiority, this book is a keeper. It is a generous volume of some of the late Stanton's best artwork with graphic examples of women getting the better of men. Apparently, these items of work were the product of commissions, and it is interesting to ponder how widespread the desire for women to be in control of men is. There is great variation ...

New York Girls (Amuses Gueules)

Richard Kern, Benedikt Taschen Verlag

Duh...
Richard Kern's work explores sexual interests of a different stripe-- these images are not for the unimaginative or easily placated viewer. If you're interested in erotic photographs of intense, interesting (and possibly insane) women in a variety of unusual situations, this book is for you. If you're looking for "the girl next door" (whatever that is), go get a Playboy.

hot stuff
I found this book at Barnes and Noble a few years back. I was amazed at how far back much of the artwork was dated. Many of the great masters of the arts have produced works that only so few in the world have seen. It's a shame that people censor stuff like this. If you find a copy somewhere anywhere buy it!!! You can learn much about mans sexuality by looking at the art found in this book.

Berlin: Portrait of a City

A facinating book about a facinating city
My first visit to Berlin, in May'89 was inspired by Wender's "Wings of Desire" movie. Since then I have been back to Berlin dozens of times; even bought our wedding rings there. Unlike, say, Paris, Berlin is not an easy city to discover or appreciate. This huge well printed and edited book does a wonderful job of bringing Berlin to life for the viewer. Most of the photos are images I've ...

This book is really great.
Be wary of other "reviewers" who think this book is bad. They don't know anything. That's why their not professional reviewers.

Burton Holmes Travelogues: The Greatest Traveler of His Time, 1892-1952 (Photo Books)

Burton Holmes

Taschen, 2006

A Treasure of History and Culture
The world has been spinning extraordinarily fast the past several decades and fewer and fewer have memories of what life was like in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Burton Holmes had a camera and a great desire to share his travel experiences through photos, film and lectures. Today, they are ours again in this wonderful book that takes us back to times and places that we don't recognize ...

Tom of Finland (Basic Art)

SIZE MATTERS, and so does CENSORSHIP!
Now THIS is how the art of Tom of Finland SHOULD be represented...in a volume large enough for us to appreciate the great detail in his work. UNFORTUNATELY, the people at TASCHEN and the Tom of Finland Foundation found it necessary to re-release this wonderful volume in a SMALLER, cheaper version, and that trend has only gotten worse with the recent release of Tom's "COMIC COLLECTION" - which I ...

Another great collection of colorful pinups from Taschen
There are very few books on the subject of men's magazines that are perfect. Yes, the printer over-trimmed this title--it has its flaws. However, I have yet to find a thicker, more colorful collection showing the covers of vintage men's mags. Every page is an eye-catcher, and I'm happy to have this book on my shelf.

Getting to know Giger
While Giger's name is mostly just known by his more hardcore fans, his work is recognised world wide through his genius design work on the movies Alien and Species. This book serves as an excellent introduction of his work or as a valued addition to Giger's collections. It's acts as both an autobiography and a coffee table art book. It includes many ink sketches which give an added dimension ...

good
It is good that there is a poster book dedicated to the master painter Gustav Klimt. I gave it three stars because the color quality could be better. However, this item is a real treat for any admirer of his work.
