Picture Book Roundup!
No brand-spanking-new books this week, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to direct your attention to some wonderful books that have recently been deeply discounted and moved to our clearance page. Get ‘em before they’re gone for good!
First up, we have Erotic by Nature, an out-of-print picture book edited by fabulous photographer David Steinberg. Explicit without being tawdry, this extensive collection of erotic photography features pictures by and of women and men, hetero, bi and gay folks alike. These sweet and lovely pictures make it a beautiful book for your coffee table without being sugary or boring. A real celebration of the variety and possibility of sex and eroticism. We like it a lot, so get it before it’s gone for good.
If Erotic by Nature sounds too tame for the likes of your coffee table (and if so, we’d like to come over for a cuppa soon, please!), you might try Gary Schneider: Nudes. This is definitely the most unusual book of nudes we have ever ever seen. Put it on your coffee table and people will stare and ask tentative questions that can only be answered by the Notes and Thanks page in the back of the book. Unique, subtle, emotional and occasionally disturbing, this is one coffee table book that will definitely get your guests talking.
And, finally, if you’re just looking for some laughs, check out The Wonderful World of Bill Ward, King of the Glamour Girls. Bill Ward was a cartoonist from approximately the 1940’s through the 1970’s who was known for one particular theme: A single-panel comic with an impossibly large-breasted, wasp-waisted young woman in a highly suggestive situation, usually with a single-line caption dripping with innuendo. Let’s just say that this book is about as far from politically-correct as it is possible to be and yet is still a fun, sexy, and (almost) wholesome look at the days when simply the presence of an attractive woman was insanely erotic.
