This review is from: KISS Guide to Kama Sutra (Keep It Simple Series) (Paperback)

the photography, artwork, and text come together (no pun intended) to create a very special book that helps the modern westerner to understand this ancient eastern manuscript. some kama sutras rely on "shocking" photos to do the work, but this edition is intelligently written, and gives a great deal of background. in addition it puts the prinicples of the kama sutra into a modern context.

This review is from: KISS Guide to Kama Sutra (Keep It Simple Series) (Paperback)

I was very pleased by this book. It is printed on a quality paper, with a lot of colorful pictures and photographs. It does not only writes and shows Kamasutra positions, but it talks about its history, sex in generally, it gives you lot of tips and references. It covers so much, that I don't need to buy any other books.

3.0 out of 5 stars The same as her other Kama Sutra Book, just smaller, February 16, 2003

This review is from: Kama Sutra (Paperback)

I have both of Hoopers Kama Sutra books, and I have to say that I like this one better. Why? you ask. Well, one main reason. I gave the larger book only 2 stars, I just thought that most of the stuff was normal positions and stuff. Well, this is the exact same book, but..... and this is a big thing, it is tiny. You can just stick it in a drawer by your bedside and flip through it if you want. I still stick by my original thoughts of the bigger book which is the same for this one visually, but it is a nice little compainion for your bedside table.
