This is an excellent art book. My only real disappointment was that all the images inside are in black and white (that's why I didn't give it 5 stars). However, there is a nice selection of images from most of Yaoi Press' artists/magaka. All images are explicit, most show full genitalia and/or penetration. Also includes "sneak peeks" at images from upcoming Yaoi titles. Highly recommended for hard yaoi fans.

This book is simply amazing; the art is exquisite. Not only do you get many images from professional artists, there's an entire section devoted to amateur artists as well, along with sneak previews of different Yaoi manga.

If you're an artist looking for body references, this book is perfect for you. A multitude of different angles and poses are all lined up and laid out for you to choose from or study; I bought this book for the references to help anatomy, as well as the fact that I love, love, loooove Yaoi, and it is perfect! The only flaw would be the black and white images, but you see right past it. Besides, it leaves room to your imagination, so you can fill in all the colors for yourself :3

A great buy all and all, and cheaper then anywhere else! Buy it!

From the first page these are some HOT images which mainly feature the couple on the cover, there other guys as well though. The pics are in black and white and shades of grey. It would be really great if they were in color, but after all it is a sketchbook. There are various artists and a thumbnail section for some of the pics, but then there are the full size of them as well. These are very juicy pics and there isn't much left to the imagination, which is a good thing. These hotties are well worth getting. ;)

Maybe I'm kinda different from the people, that already posted their reviews here, but I don't find anything good about the artbook. I really like good and well drawn Yaoi, even hardcore isn't the problem, but what in the world is that?

The Cover is good, very good, especially when you know her other colored artworks. I really thought, the pages inside have to be as good as the cover, but I was really disappointed. Everything black/white, nothing in color and only hadcore pictures. Don't misunderstand me, I'm tha last one, that don't like Hard Yaoi, but most of the pictures were bad drawn and sometimes disgusting. Naked men, no matter what page you were looking at. Most of the artist were just bad, knowing nothing about anatomy or human budies, often the screentones just killed the drawings and the atmosphere and in the end I only find 3-4 pictures I really liked. And after 20 pages of full genitalia and Hardcore Sex... you just have enough.

And here comes the next big mistake- there are no informations about the artists in the artbook. Not even a real name, so you can search on Google, so in the end, I couldn't find out a clue about the artist, I was interested in.

Nothing for fans of real gorgeous art and illustrations and definetly nothing I would recommended to anybody.
