Tasteful and Erotic, May 4 2006
By Rachel Addams - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Girls, Guns and Ropes (Hardcover)
I really didn't know what to expect when I picked up a copy of "Girls, Guns and Ropes". Would it actually be tasteful and erotic, or would it be mindless crotch shots like so many other "artists" work?
I was pleasantly surprised to find that this book totally measures up to this girl's standards.
Even though nakedness abounds, Botello keeps it classy with well placed weapons and intense shadows, while still highlighting his models' curves. His dramatic style of lighting adds an ominous yet provocative mood to these black and white pictures.
As the title implies, this book is chock-full of intricate rope bondage; pistols and rifles as well as machetes and meat cleavers. The girls are attractive, with enough variety to please most people; however, brunettes clearly dominate this book.
And the models actually have interesting expressions on their faces instead of the "I'm completely bored" looks that are in some of the other books out there.
I thoroughly enjoyed this seductive book and highly recommend it.

Excellent idea, needed more of a variety of guns, Jan 9 2007

I was eagerly awaiting this arrival from the Super Shipping Saving ordeal (8 days), and the book did not disappoint! I like the sleaziness of the girls, and I believe art can also be designed to cause the onlooker to get aroused. I did go from 0-to-Hardwood in about 3 seconds, but as I leafed through, I realized the same guns were in rotation. I understand it was the author's collection and bound to be limited--but I expect if there is a sequel to up the notch this book has attained that the author will have more funds available to rent some firearms. Perfect-size for throwing in a backpack, and the pictures taken merit a third or fourth glance over. The mood set by the bondage totally augments the sex appeal idea being pitched to the readers/glancers. If there is a follow-up book, I'm definitely going through the Super Shipping Saver ordeal again!

I was a little disapointed, the quality of the photos are great, but small pages and a little hard to see detail.
