If you are wondering why there isn't an image of the cover, there is one simple reason ... the cover is hot. That is just where the "heat" starts. The temperature rises with every page.
THIS ... is the Illustrated Kama Sutra you imagined. It contains clear how-to's with elegant brushed ink illustrations for each story. Kama Sutra enthusiasts and newbies will definitely enjoy the exotic stories of how the positions were created.
These seXXy stories will sear into your imagination and fill you with "the burn." Word to the sensually wise -- have a partner, toy, or hand ready. So worth every penny.

This book was a wonderful surprise. There are twenty-four erotic confections set in early medieval India, some "realistic", some fantasy, written by assorted authors -- I particularly liked Andrea Dale's The Tale of the Tigress, in which a noble hunter meets a passionate forest goddess. With one exception, these are sunlit, joyful stories that I think Vatsyayana would have enjoyed.
The editor, Maxim Jukubowski, must be congratulated for adding an essay by Trisha Telep which puts the Kama Sutra into its social context, and makes plain Vatsyayana was prescribing a sexual ethic and an etiquette for wealthy young men of leisure, and that the techniques of the notorious second chapter were only a small part of his teaching.
In addition, fifty-one illustrations by Louisa Minkin and Carolyn Weltman, mostly of postures from the Kama Sutra (augmented with those from later works such as the Ratiratnapradipika, the Smaradipika, and the Ananga-Ranga ) help support the mood elicited by the stories (and maybe give you and partner some ideas!).

I ordered this book as I thought it would have alot of illustrations. It didn't. This book is more for the story behind the sexual positions. While it makes for a great read, do not expect good pics.
