This review is from: Erotic New York: A Guide to the Red Hot Apple (Paperback)

At 4" x 6.5" and 144 pages this is not cheap information. The real key to the book however, are the lines: "If you are looking for peepshows, topless bars, escort services or massage parlors you won't find them here. In our opinion these businesses not only cater exclusively to men and typically exploit women, but - most important - aren't very sexy." I guess "erotic" is in the definition of the definer.

A good portion of the information could be obtained from either the yellow pages or the internet. Most of the information revolves in one manner or another around the fetish/swing scene. My take on that is that anyone involved in either scene would already know where to look - maybe not. The best information is the list of internet addresses and sites in the back. This is certainly a bit more than most of the "romance weekend" kind of books but leaving out 50% of what one could define as "erotic" leaves a bit to be desired. Beyond the judgement of the authors of what is and isn't for "women".
