This is a small paperback book with black and white photos of many animals "having" sex. Some photos are very detailed and may offend certain readers. The layout of a photo and info on one page spread- makes for a great Bathroom Reader Book. Buy if you only want a good laugh.

I had this book in paperback. It was borrowed and not returned. It is so good that I am reordering it in hardcopy. Pictures can be graphic but the information is amazing and the authors humor is fanastic.

If you're looking for a highly detailed scientific treatise on animal mating habits, don't buy this book. On the other hand, if you want a book with each two pages devoted to a great photo, some fascinating "factoids" about the mating habits of specific and carefully selected animals, laced with wonderfully witty and humorous comments, this is the book for you. I immediately passed it around to many friends, so it has gotten pretty worn already and I'm going to order another. Everybody loved it.

Yeah, yeah, I know Dave Barry doesn't write his column any more, but when I read page 38, that's exactly what I was thinking!

Add an honorary sixth star for the cover, which had me laughing out loud right there in the library.
