Summary: A BOOK WORTH A PEEK
Comment: **The Female Form - a private view**
The book I have in my library is published by Carlton Books Limited, 1999 and represent externally the more economic hardcover formats. It contains a total of 96 pages with both color and duotone photographs. The selling price is usually economic so it is well worth a peek. What you get is an expanded view of what any photographic magazine would provide in any female nude theme, and all in hard covers for a good shelf life.
There is an emphasis on 1990's work by several popular photographers, some work from the 80's and a few early last century.
Several of the photographs chosen for this book have a fetish undertone, if not outright so. Perhaps it was typical of the 90's photography or are preferences of the author of compiling this book, Mr. Tony Mitchell. The book contains work by Jan Saudek, Lichfield, Karo, Craig Morey, Trevor Watson, Monika Robl to mention only a few.
The book has only two pages of introductory text, and one page showing the contents and naming the work.
This book stays in my library because of some stunning photographs within, views such as; Paolo Curto's "Untitled" on page 26, Karo's "Pflaster" on page 33, Trevor Watson's "Untitled" on page 49 and Monika Robl's "Sappho" on page 53.

Summary: Don't buy it unseen
Comment: This book was very disappointing. It's not at all what I expected -- though other reviewers did warn that many of the pictures are just plain goofy, and this is true. There are maybe a handful of sexy images but as a whole the book is just an eyesore. I flipped through it once and immediately packed it back up for a refund.
The moral I draw from this is: don't buy a book like this online. Go to a bookstore where you can flip through it before buying. If I had done that, I would have saved myself the cost of the return shipping, and perhaps found a better book.

Summary: Not the best of its genre
Comment: It was okay but I found the book on the Michelin tire calendars to be more intriquing. Many well done pictures but also many just plain weird ones also. I know "art" and parts of this book were not "art". Nothing was overly pornographic, except perhaps in context but just too many goofy pictures. At least there were none which would fit right in with the current Penthouse magazine's new declaration of tastelessness for bad photography of silicone endowed women.
