A pretty fun and tasteful salute to the twin moons of paradise. The size of the book does some justice to the subject matter at hand. Just the ticket for the boobophile in your life.

There has always been a certain allure of women endowed with large natural, well you get the picture. James Stewart in Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 thriller VERTIGO asks his ex-fiance, played by Barbara Bel Geddes, sitting at her drawing board what is she drawing. She answers that it is a bra designed by an engineer based on the cantilever principal, something he thought up in his spare time! "Sort of a hobby you might say," comments Stewart as he gives a wry hint of a smile. And so it goes. The focal point of this book has always given those enamored by such physical endowments a twinkle in the eye or the hint of that wry smile when given that precious opportunity to gaze upon that prominent element of the buxom female form. This book represents a true art form and is presented in a refined high-end publication printed and bound with the finest media available. The photographs are an inimitable representation of the buxom female as envisioned and seen from the through the mid twentieth century. If you are of the mind to enjoy and take delight in such inclinations of this natural female human form this book should certainly be considered.

This book details how womens figures have changed over the years, well at least those who pose for pictures. Interesting book and a great talking point if left on the coffee table !

Quite an interesting book from both a social and historical perspective. The text deals mainly with how and why many of these women became models and the roles they played in creating an image. Many of these models come from the glossy mens magazines of the 1970's and 80's, as well as date back to the 50's and 60's when nude photography was taboo.
The photos are tasteful and the text is interesting and speaks of the models how they conducted themselves, and why they posed.

Great publication, although it's a bit large for the average coffee table. The photos are high quality and the commentary is interesting and well written. I only wish there was a greater variety of models and more everyday women featured. Certainly a conversation starter!
