Perhaps this book would be better titled "Forbidden Garage Sale Finds". The art in this collection is often second or third rate with a emphasis on mass produced decorative art (lamps, boxes etc.) Miss Naomi has produced a book that will be of interest to those who already have every other book of erotic art but if you are looking for a book of museum grade erotica you would be better served looking elsewhere (maybe "Erotic Art: From the 17th to the 20th Century" edited by Peter Weirmair but it might be out of print)

The magnitude of Miss Naomi's collection is mind boggling after viewing this book I had the opportunity to view this collection in person and was doubly impressed This is a must have book for your collection !

I bought this book because I have a personal interest in one of the pieces but the inspiration and delight this comprenhensive book far surpassed any personal satisfaction I had originally anticipated. As a reference, it is educational and as entertainment it is like a private tour through a very special museum. My thanks to the publishers, photgrapher and, of course, Miss Naomi.

Page after page of this exceptional book is filled with excellent photography and text. Intricate details of the art pieces are shown off perfectly in brilliant color. The author has included an extensine history and description of each item. This is a great book to browse through in bed with your favorite wine and lover.

I EXPECTED MY FRIENDS TO LOVE IT -- BUT MY IN-LAWS? THIS BOOK APPEALS TO ALL. I DISPLAY IT PROUDLY ON MY COFFEE TABLE , EVEN MY MOST CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS FOUND IT " UNUSUAL " OR "DEFINITIVE IN ITS BREADTH" [NO,NOT BREASTS THEY DEFINITELY SAID BREADTH]" IT`S A FUN BOOK TO GIVE AS A GIFT.

Having viewed the collection myself, I believe the book conveys at least a taste of the actuality of erotica. Beautifully done, great photography, can't wait for the sequel!

Great stuff! Wonderful Photos! Lots of FUN!!!

I am thrilled to see this publication, Its a turning point for all art, worldwide ! "FORBIDDEN ART, THE WORLD OF EROTICA", is a large step for mankind, and such a pleasant and a timely one for thinking men and women. I highly recommend this masterpiece of photography and beautifully written professional prose. Congradulations to the publishers and author. Check it out, it will be a treasured friend !

I thought it was facinating, colorful, exiting and fun. Everyone should experience the fun of reading it.
