More like a coffee table book big full size pictues. Lots of photos gorgeous lingerie.

I picked this up on sale at amazon.com a couple of years ago. while I rotate out my "coffee table" books, this one has shown up more times than most. It seems to be constant that women enjoy wearing lingerie, and talking about it... while guys like to talk about it. Being an amateur historian, I like the contextual descriptions of the previous decades. While knowing that thongs are the "in" thing now, watching the progression from the prudish 1950s, freedom 1960s, and later years is awesome. Finally, if you have a conversationally hesitant lady friends, you can always talk about how women in past years have "had it worse," in terms of undergarments.

The Photography is good, with revealing (no pun intended) following text descriptions. Worth a look...

I saw this book in a local bookstore and as usual came to Amazon to make my purchase. It's a great book with wonderful photography. I recommend it to anyone who needs a little something to take their mind off of a day's work.
