Cabinet of Natural Curiosities: The Complete Plates in Colour, 1734-1765

Taschen, 2005

quality artwork from a time gone by
The old prints are just beautiful. Before photographs, books like these had hand painted reproductions of the animals. The detail is amazing. One can only imagine how long it must have taken to prepare these works.And collect the specimens.Check out the 7 headed hydra! ...

Let Me In!

Taschen, 2007

"beautiful people, a lot of skin and a surprising sense of intimacy"...
First of all, let me tell you I may be a little biased with my review, because I love Mario Testino's work as it is. His photos of beautiful glamorous worlds and people living in them are always sleek, suave and well-polished, and they display, to my taste, a delicate ...

Gil Elvgren: All His Glamorous American Pin-Ups (Taschen 25th Anniversary Special Editions)

Charles G Martignette, Louis K Meisel

Taschen, 2008

Interesting Book
I'm still studying and reading through it, but it has an interesting magic that's missing in many of today's similar subjects - innocence.

The Curse of Lono

Hunter S. Thompson

Taschen, 2005

An unknown classic
This books is probably the least well-known of HST's books. But it was a very pleasant surprise upon reading it. It is classic Thompson, self-destructive, paranoid, and hilarious. If you take his word for it, you might never visit Hawaii yourself!

Big Book of Breasts

Dian Hanson

Taschen, 2006

from an insider
I love this book. It is beautiful, informative and very supportive. A great coffee table book or a book to peruse with your best friends.

The Big Penis Book

Taschen, 2008

Wow!
Oh dear. I am a 70 year old woman and I just happened across this big penis book in my son's room. My son is 45 years old and still single. I think he might be gay. That said, his big penis book is now in my room under my bed. So now my 45 year old single son is ...

WOW... words can't even begin to describe how much I love this book! It's about time they released a book like this! And the wrapper of this book is genius! It looks like a gigantic box of Polaroid film... I didn't even want to remove the cover at first... I fondled it ...

Terryworld (Taschen 25th Anniversary)

Taschen, 2008

Terror-World!
Terry's world might be, hell, it's MEANT to be a little scary for alot of people! Not in the sense of depicting violence or even real depravity but rather in the near-apocalypitc vulgarity with which it depicts post modern-hedonism, where sexual pleasure is about as ...

Pop Art (Taschen 25th Anniversary)

Tilman Osterwold

Taschen, 2007

Comprehensive and colorful
First, an admission: I judge books about pop art mainly by the pictures. And by that measure, this book offers one of the broadest and most pleasing collection of pop art pieces to be found between two covers. The large 9-1/2" x 12" format allows for excellent ...

LaChapelle, Heaven to Hell (Photo Books)

Taschen, 2006

Best Photographer/Artist since Warhol
Love Lachapelle, pretty much an insane genius. His work is sexy, provocative, alluring, disturbing, insane, kinky, risqué, all while being too hot to handle... the book is so chock full of fun that a normal person can't look through the entire thing in one sitting ...

Roy Stuart: Volume 1 (Roy Stuart (Hardcover))

Jean-Claude Baboulin

Taschen, 2007

Sizzle With Sass
This is a collection of erotic moments captured in pictures, by someone who actually seems to think this sort of thing should be fun. Yes, it gets a little kinky, and not all the bodies are glamor-perfect (not the problem one might think, as all the model choices seem ...

Africa

Taschen, 2007

Sin palabras
Un excelente libro de un fotógrafo excepcional. El continente captado en todo su esplendor y miseria por un ojo privilegiado. Una compra obligada.

The Complete Kake Comics

Taschen, 2008

quite a complete collection
Wish it were in its original release size and not thick digest form. Otherwise a comprehensive collection of Tom's work.
