Customer Reviews

Fine quality hardback

Typical of a book from it's period, it's a rather dry read but not overly wordy. Altho the cover states "Not For General Perusal", the subject matter is approached academically and is quite fascinating. The edition has very nice covers and binding up to par with any other "coffee table" book.

Great Book with Foreword by Freud

One of the best parts of this lovely book is the excellent foreword by none other than the late great Sigmund Freud. Who better to approach this "delicate" subject? Well written in period style, the book is cleverly edited to include amusing parts and can be quite shocking. A good read! Thanks to my Sister for buying me the copy, little did she know that I'd be putting it on the coffee table for visitors to read.
