"I've been dying to own a copy of this book ever since I watched the HBO special on its creation. I finally bought it yesterday and I'm happy to say it did not disappoint. The photos are fascinating, beautiful and provocative - really it's just amazing the impact they make on the viewer. And the articles are thoughtful, clever and highly amusing in some places. The perfect coffee table book for someone like me."
"A snapshot of a moment in the history or adult entertainment. The world has certainly changed as even a the not far distant past, this book would not have been found on a regular bookstore shelf. It would have with the adult magazines and other such publications.
It is not a sexually explicit book. More of meat market voyeurism, a catalog of those who work in the industry and what they bring. Not unlike a catalog from any talent agency showing potential clients the raw assets of the models and actors represented.
Graphic without purpose other than as illustration. 30 clothed and unclothed famous (mostly famous) workers in the the Adult oriented industry as of moment in time that this book was published with a few 'classic' stars.
Much of the accompanying prose written by some very gifted and lauded authors of our time is as worthwhile as anything written on the topic of the porn industry.
The two star rating is close to a three, but the book is just to stagnant to fully express the basic grit and normalcy of the topic as seemingly desired.
Interesting photographic juxtaposition of the stars but not, and admittedly intentionally, very creative.
Needs something more to fulfill the potential of an otherwise good concept."
