For anyone who worships the male body or wants to know why others do (TASCHENs 25th anniversary special edition) While the female nude has long played a concpicuous role in western iconography, the male nude has not always enjoyed such adoration. This collection provides an overdue review of material that at one time could only be bought under the counter, beginning with the anonymous erotica of the 19th century. It features the pioneer homoerotic nude photographs of Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden, posing nude youths in classical postures at Taormina in Sicily. It includes illustrations from groundbreaking magazines such as Physique Pictorial, the leading organ of the mid-50s gay scene, and it covers the entire range from classic masters of male nude photography, such as Herbert List, George Platt Lynes or Robert Mapplethorpe, to the pin-up beefcake of the sex magazines.

¿Cómo es posible embutir tanta abundancia en un receptáculo tan minúsculo y asequible? Sintiendolo mucho, se trata de un secreto de la profesión que no estamos autorizados a revelar; lo más que podemos decir es que se han empleado calzadores y mucha malla elasticaEl Big Butt Book contenia un extenso muestrario de apetitosas nalgas que empezaba en la decada de 1950 y llegaba hasta la actualidad. Con el Little Book of Butts, y puesto que la vida esta llena de ironias, hemos decidido reducir el contenido para que incluya solo lo mejor y de mayor tamaño, esas gorditas sin complejos a las que se referia el insigne rapero Sir Mix-a-lot cuando escribio aquello de: "My anaconda dont want none, unless youve got buns, hun" ("Nena, mi anaconda se queda conmigo, salvo que tengas unas buenas cachas").A lo largo de sus mas de 150 fotos encontraremos mujeres grandes y exuberantes, y mujeres aun mas grandes y mas exuberantes, tanto en blanco y negro como a color. Puede que la mayoria de modelos sean anonimas, pero sus curvas son legendarias, y ahora que estan compiladas en un discreto paquetito de precio mas que asequible en estos dias de tribulaciones economicas, ¿quien se va a poner a ahorrar?
