This superbly produced collector's volume of erotic fine art consists of 80 breathtaking, handmade prints, each with the air of mystery and intrigue that are the hallmark of photographer China Hamilton's distinctive style.
Bravo Ms. Hamilton, this is a great collection of pictures! Let's start with the bad things of the book... it's not perfect! Maybe not bad things, just things I don't like. Basically every other photography book I have seen, even if they have a dust jacket (they normally don't) they have the picture of the dust jacket also printed on the cover. This book has a fabric cover, so, if you lose the dust jacket, you are indeed losing some of the pictures of the book (they are not inside of it). The second bad thing... I didn't like that only the odd numbered pages (those on the right side) have pictures on it. The even numbered pages are blank except for the page number. Besides that, well, the book is in my opinion a masterpiece, probably China Hamilton's Opus Magna. There is a bit of everything. From the most innocent nudes you can imagine, to some soft BDSM, and everything in between. A total photographic study of the woman's body. Dearly recommended. Something important is that, in my opinion, it should not be considered as erotic photography. Nude photography, yes, but most of this pictures are obviously not taken to arouse sexually, they seem to have been taken rather to inspire tenderness, innocence or female beauty beyond her sexual power.
A fine collection of erotica from China Hamilton

I didn't know what to expect based on the other reviews. But this is a fine collection of hand-made prints from China Hamilton. Nearly every one of them would look great framed. I'm surprised that this book doesn't sell for more.
