5.0 out of 5 stars A great gift for any pin-up or glamour collector, July 22, 2006

By	Michael Austin (Utica, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

And very simply the best book of its kind -- beautifully produced, with stunning visuals by great photographers, superb art direction and, of course, Dita. She re-invents glamour. It takes a remarkable model and some great stylists to hold your attention through a one-woman "show" like this, but she does it, and looks great throughout, over the course of an unbelieveable variety of settings, wardrobe, lack of wardrobe, styles and situations. Nothing lewd at all, in fact there is no nudity in this book. It's the "teese" that keeps you interested. You will not go wrong, a very, very well done book that you will be happy to own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful erotic pictures in excellent taste, November 3, 2006

By	L. Burke (Hixson, TN USA) - See all my reviews

Dita Von Teese again shows her excellent taste in her homage to classic strip tease and her fetish photos. She explores the entire range of burlesque from the 1800's through the 1950's with great attention to the details which make the looks authentic. This book reflects the pride Dita takes in her profession.

5.0 out of 5 stars High gloss and high class, November 11, 2006

By	A. Althaea "Proverbial Wallpaper" (PDX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was on the waiting list for this book to arrive and after many months of anticipation, I was not only pleasantly surprised, I was agasp at how luxe this volume is. It doesn't dwell in historical narrative, nor does it showcase ego in her autobiography. It postively radiates elegance and mystery within the burlesque/fetish world. I love how Dita expresses herself sexually, without boundaries, yet cultured. One could pick this book up, open it at random and get engrossed immediately... most impressive.
