Far away from the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort and other tourist destinations of the north of India lies another India: the lush and beautiful Southern States. In Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Goa, brilliantly coloured hues are a natural result of a hot climate and fertile landscape, but they are also symbolic of what is one of the world''s most spiritual countries. In these pages, blue is for both Vishnu and brilliantly coloured saris, red is for Lakshmi and blazing hot chillies, yellow is for good luck and golden tumeric, and green is for Hanuman and vibrant rice fields. Swaying palms and garlands of flowers, painted bullock carts and caparisoned elephants - these are but a few examples of Barbara Lloyd''s photographs.

Penetrate the world of 20th century adult underground with publisher, film producer, and archivist Kim Christy. Compiled from extensive private collections, The Christy Report brings you a plethora of images tracing the evolution of porn as we know it, from beginnings in early photography, illustration, and film, through the glory days of the 70s porn explosion and up to today's expanded digital-age market.

This book represents 100 of the finest and most fascinating examples of body-centred photography from the 20th century. Art photographers included are Stieglitz, Man Ray, Brassai, Cunningham, Brandt and Mapplethorpe, alongside greats of scientific image-making like Nilsson and Hutchings.

Photography has been widely accepted as an art form for several years, with museums on the subject in every major American and European city. Nude art photography takes a special position in this development. The human body has been a subject of art for centuries. As with other art forms, nude art photography explores the borders of the medium. The focus in this book is on the aesthetic. The Body contains photos from the international collection of The Gallery of Esthetic Photography (GEP). The GEP holds the largest collection of nude art photography in Europe. Featured photographers include the Spanish celebrity photographer Miquel Arnal. His black and white personal work is rich in contrast and evokes feelings of bewilderment. German born Klaus Kampert uses dancers as his models. Perfect lighting and an eye for detail and composition result in top class images with abstract characteristics. At the other end of the spectrum is the work of the Argentinean photographer Walter Bosque. He positions his models in dramatic environmental settings resulting in stark contrasts, for instance that of white skin and burned forest.

A long-overdue appreciation of America''s favorite piece of clothing, "The Blue Jean" celebrates the denim craze with 135 color and black-and-white documentary, fashion, and art photos.

An enthralling portrait of the Bloomsbury Group s key figures told through a rich collection of intimate photographs

Todos lo sabemos: el tamaño no importa, lo que importa es la habilidad; o dicho de otra manera: lo que importa es la calidad y no la cantidad. Pero admitámoslo: un pene grande impresiona y, no solo impresiona, al contrario que otros prototipos fisicos (que si hombros grandes, que si delgado, que si cachas, etc.) un pene grande nunca pasa de moda. Si tenemos en cuenta que solo un 2% de la poblacion masculina mundial ostenta el record de 20 cm., es evidente que un accesorio de ese tamaño resultara siempre perturbador, cuando no sorprendente. En este volumen, complementario de nuestro famoso The Big Book of Breasts, exploramos un fenomeno que durante siglos ha fascinado tanto a hombres como a mujeres: el pene XL. 400 fotos de archivos historicos, en su mayoria de la decada de los 70, incluidas las del legendario John Holmes ilustran este singular volumen. Bob Mizer fotografo del legendario Athletic Model Guild; David Hurles del Old Reliable, Colt, Falcon, Sierra Domino, Third World, y Champion Studios, todos estos profesionales nos hablan de su trabajo y sus modelos. Y como si esto fuera poco... el libro culmina con una agradable sorpresa comparable solo a la foto de Norma Stitz del Guinness Book of Records! Que apareciera en nuestro The Big Book of Breasts.
