The Big Book of Breasts
Hanson, Dian (editor)
Taschen
Big almost doesn't begin to describe this hefty tome that's
chock full of big, beautiful boobies. Arranged by decade, this book
contains nude pictures of women with large natural breasts (it is not
coincidence that the three decades covered are the 1950's, 1960's and
the 1970's, after which most big breasts in nude pictures are
artificially created). Because of the time period, you're going to see
women with more natural bodies (read: you can't see their rib cages!
some even have pubic hair!), and come into contact with hair styles that
your mother wore (though some are "so out they're in again"). There are
little features on certain famous strippers and burlesque dancers, which
make for some fascinating reading, but for the most part you've just got
pictures of breasts. Hubba hubba! 12" x 12". (2006, 396 pp.)

Bubble Bath Girls
Einhorn, Andrew
Goliath
What's hotter than a naked woman in a bathtub? A naked woman in a
bathtub with bubbles! Photographer Andrew Einhorn (of Naked Happy
Girls fame) once again persuades dozens of hot young women off
street, out of their clothes and in front of his camera. This time he
adds the delightful theme of bubble baths, and the suds are the perfect
complement to nubile skin, perky breasts, firm bodies, dangerous curves
and plump buttocks. The personality of each girl really comes through,
thanks in part to the props they either brought with them (the tiara,
the iguana) or were given to play with (the fruit, the bubble bath, the
roses). A delightful romp, full of sexy, bubbly clean fun. 7-3/4" x
5-3/4". (2005, 367 pp.)

Gary Schneider: Nudes
Schneider, Gary
The mysteriously compelling images in this book become clear if you
start at the back and read the Notes and Thanks page first.
Doing so will tell you that each of these images involved a perfectly
dark room, an hour-long exposure, some chanting of numbers and a small
flashlight. Just knowing this sheds some light (pun intended) on the
occasional oddly shifting gaze, the blur of a moving penis, and, most
dramatically, the play of light and dark over each of the full nude
photos. But whichever way you read the book, it's a journey of
discovery, a book unlike any other book of nudes we've ever come across.
Unique, subtle, emotional and occasionally disturbing, this is one
coffee table book that will definitely get you
talking.
This book measures approximately 9-1/4" x 18-3/8". (2005, 80
pp.)

Layley
Donegan, John and Layley
Goliath Books
Ah, Layley. If you've ever wanted to watch a model slowly become more
and more comfortable with her sexuality as she poses nude in front of
her photographer, this is the book for you. Definitely read
Layley's (the model) and John Donegan's (the photographer) introductions
to get a feel for their relationship and how the collaborative process
worked for them in creating this book. From her lithe, flawless body to
the expression in her eyes, Layley carries off a kind of effortless
erotic charge that really comes through in her pictures. This is the
first book by Goliath (the publisher) to feature only one girl, and we
think she really pulls it off nicely. Or maybe this reviewer just has a
thing for hot blondes. Either way, it's a fascinating look at one
woman's discovery of her own sexuality and power that never gets skeezy
or too lewd. Very nicely done! 5-3/4" x 7-3/4". (2005, 159 pp.)

Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated Industry
Grecco, Michael
Rock Out Books
If you've ever wanted to know more about the sex industry — especially
about the stars, the directors, the folks who make their living there —
you can't miss Naked Ambition: An R-Rated Look at an X-Rated
Industry. Photojournalist Michael Grecco set up a booth at the
2006 and 2007 AVN awards and shot — and interviewed— many of the most
important, unique and fascinating people in the porn industry. Following
the format of a full-page, full-color picture (or two), most are
accompanied by a paragraph detailing the significant history of the
individual in question (sometimes with fun quotes or body measurements
or what they did before porn, etc). From Jenna Jameson to Joanna Angel,
from Larry Flynt to Seymour Butts, from Ron Jeremy to Buck Angel, it's
an engrossing look at what it means to be in the industry. The
photographs appear very natural and realistic (you can see wrinkles and
pores sometimes), though Grecco does thank his retoucher in the
acknowledgments. Remarkably frank, this book makes the sex industry into
what it really is — simply a way of life, not some scandalous,
snickering secret to be ashamed of. We had a hard time putting this one
down, and, considering the size of this gorgeous coffee-table book,
that's saying something! 14" tall by 10" wide. Full color. (2007, 224
pp.)

New York Girls
Kern, Richard
Purr Books
Very urban, scruffy-stylish erotic photos (color and B&W) ranging from
basic nudes to bondage photos. It has strong overtones of depravity,
without being explicitly perverse (well, not very explicitly perverse,
anyway). Includes a whole series of shots of gyrls with guns — boy, did
that make this reviewer
happy.
This book measures approximately 9-1/2" x 12". (1997, 196 pp.)

Real Girls: Photographs
Lanes, Scott
Goliath Books
Contemporary photographs of nude "girls next door" fill the pages of
this book. Not quite as fresh-faced as the neighborhood girls of
yesteryear, the models in Real Girls sport tattoos, facial,
nipple and navel piercings, or dreadlocks, creating a much more
up-to-date look. Reminiscent of Suicide Girls, these young
women are natural in their presentation of themselves — from innocent
pouts to confident stares, these women aren't afraid of showing
themselves to the camera just as they are. Flirty, playful, sometimes
even a bit vulnerable and innocent, these pictures are a yummy delight
for the modern viewer. 6-1/4" x 8-1/2". (2006, 160 pp.)

Stare: Photographs
Ridgers, Derek
Goliath Books
Photographer Derek Ridgers hangs out in stylish nightclubs, waiting for
suitable subjects to flaunt themselves in front of his camera. According
to the introduction, he does not direct but allows these sexy,
fashionable women to express themselves as they see fit; this makes the
range and depth of sexy on these pages even more astonishing. From
schoolgirl outfits to out-and-out fetish gear, the getups these foxy
women are wearing make it clear that we haven't been going to the right
nightclubs. All black-and-white photography. (2006, 160 pp.)

The Valley
Sultan, Larry
Scalo
Photographer Larry Sultan seems to have a knack for not only capturing
the feel of a particular time and place but also including the viewer as
part of the scene. The Valley takes us to a porn shoot in
the San Fernando Valley, yet the tone of these photographs is anything
but salacious. Action scenes are shot not from the movie camera's point
of view, but from off-stage, to the side, through sliding glass doors or
with the director in the shot, giving you the sense of being on the set
itself, watching how the scenes are considered, changed, created. Better
still are the "resting" shots, the porn stars in curlers on their cell
phones, taking a food break, or all done up in leather, waiting for the
next scene to begin. The entire book is intensely real and feels
incredibly honest even as it pulls back the curtain and reveals the
artificial scrim backgrounds and shelf of dolls above the bed, just out
of the final shot.
Recommended.
This book measures approximately 13-1/2" x 11-3/4".
