4.0 out of 5 stars A review, Jul 20 2004

By	Elizabeth (US) - See all my reviews

I am in agreement with the previous reviewer that the small size of this book adds to its, er, charm. While I am not into S&M per se, the photographs in this book are rather beautiful and looking more and more like a Vogue fashion layout-not surprising being that Ellen Von Unwerth is a fashion photographer. While the story in this book is not an entirely original concept,(obviously ripped from Story of O)I was captured by the stunning black and white images. Would I call it art? Hmmm, not sure, it's all relative I suppose but as I turned the pages I could not help but hear a voice in the back of my mind whispering "This is someone with too much time on her hands." Whether the voice was speaking of Ellen Von Unwerth or me I haven't decided.

5.0 out of 5 stars book size, Aug 27 2003

By	"meixlan" (CA USA) - See all my reviews

Though I understand the opinions expressed in the other commentator's reviews on the book being too small a format. I found the small format to add to the intimacy of the content. The size is small and intimate a little book to tuck into a purse, a silken drawer, under a pillow. Its physical size matches the intimate unmentionables that the book plays with. The details of the small S&M line drawings on the inside covers also add to the intimacy and playfullness of her book. And of course, the photographs are gorgeous.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot, playful book, Aug 8 2003

By A Customer

The photographs and the women are beautiful. The tone is hot and still playful.
The only thing that I was unhappy with was that the book's dimensions are a bit small. I think of a wider book when I think of a "coffee table book." (I can't recall where I heard that said.) As a consequence, the photographs which are 2 full pages look a bit odd, as they are cut through the middle by the seam of the book. It's not like a magazine that lays flat- this is a thick book. And, of course, the photographs that command two-page spreads are some of the best, so it's really quite a loss.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun Book, But Small Format
I like the collection of photos in here: there's nice light themed images that tell a "story" of sorts through pictures. The outfits are appealing as are the models. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Sensuous
This is the first of von Unwerth's books that I really like. Her previous efforts, I believe, were amateurish. Revenge is pretty cool. Read more
