“[The Kama Sutra is] tender, sage, and domestic.” —Fawn M. Brodie

From the Inside Flap
Sir Richard F. Burton?s translation of The Kama Sutra remains one of the best English interpretations of this early Indian treatise on politics, social customs, love, and intimacy. Its crisp style set a new standard for Sanskrit translation.
The Kama Sutra stands uniquely as a work of psychology, sociology, Hindu dogma, and sexology. It has been a celebrated classic of Indian literature for 1,700 years and a window for the West into the culture and mysticism of the East.
This Modern Library Paperback Classic reprints the authoritative text of Sir Richard F. Burton?s 1883 translation. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This is a great read. It is the full classical Kama Sutra, which is an ancient course in how to deal with women - both in and out of bed. Contrary to some popular beliefs, the Kama Sutra is not porn magazine. It contains a philosophy of life that includes reaching a higher plane of sexual relations with your partner. It tells you how this can be done, and the rest is up to you. The limit is in your imagination. Great classic read.

The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana by Vatsyayana. Published by MobileReference (mobi).
It was the film "Kama Sutra" that led me to this classic. The idea of someone documenting various forms of making love was intriguing and I started exploring further on the original work. The book was incredible. It was so informative I had no idea how much I would learn from just one book. I think that anyone who reads this book will definitly become a better lover, on one level or another.

This version lacks any sort of diagrams or art. The text is complete but without the usual art it is not at all satisfactory.

No big deal
Despite the wide spread opinion about it, the sutra is really pretty dull stuff by today's standards, such as they are.
