Summary: Somewhat interesting
Comment: Like most women, I enjoy dressing seductively and sexy for my partner. From garter belts, to satin gowns, to thongs and one piece little see throughs, they're all beautiful. The book has nice illustrations and talks about lingerie from the early days to now, but the book does not cover all the basics. The book, in my opinion is worth reading if you want to know the basics on lingerie, nothing else. As a part-time model, I have found that lingerie does not fit all women, even if they have flawless bodies. This book does nothing to suggest what would look better on tall women, skinny women or women with large/small breasts. I did like the book, but I felt like it was very basic and missing alot of useful information.

Summary: Intelligent prose on history undergarments...
Comment: I'm not sure what others consider titillating material, but this book certainly is not out for the quick, cheap thrill (and that's a good thing). The text describes the changing fashions over the years, and the improvements in materials which allowed those changes in many cases. The pictures range from gritty, authentic b/w "early pioneer style" to 1960's variety to the obligatory Victoria's Secret model shots. There is no shame in appreciating the few photographs which one might consider slightly arousing, and the text is an interesting read. My girlfriend very much enjoyed receiving this book as a surprise gift, which we then read together.

Summary: I'm Not the Market for This Book
Comment: As a heterosexual female costumer, I'm always looking for a solid book on underclothing that is not primarily designed to titillate a male audience. Sadly, this isn't it.
