If I could send it back I would. It was totally opposite my expectations. The soft bound book is filled with many grainy black and white prints, often out of focus and poorly lighted. The content of the photos certainly deals with S&M, but if I were a new comer or someone looking for some "sexual magic" I believe I would be turned off.The text does a decent job of explaining the concepts, but I am afraid the photos do in whatever good the author was trying to do.Sorry, but the book does not work. Anyone want a used copy?
