From swell to tip... and beyond

"...Succulent adornments of the female figure, those most seizable of assets, those quintessential gifts of the Almighty, have cast a giant shadow over my life. Let me tell you how, at the tender age of four, I came to undo my first brassiere..."

Half the world has got them, and the other half wants to get hold of them. The Illustrated Book of Breasts is an even more erotic addition to Erotic Review Books' famous series of "Illustrated Books". It has the same discreet format - ideal for the pocket, purse or bottom drawer - and the same scandalous approach to erotic abandon, albeit from a new, up-top perspective.

"Buxom women know that their men adore their breasts, and adore them for adoring them."

The Illustrated Book of Breasts provides an historic look at the depiction of the breast in all its visual and tactile splendour in painting, sculpture, illustration and film. Laurence's affectionate commentary on the female chest contrasts with illustrations of exemplary salaciousness. The most loose-bodiced of unsupported, free-bouncing, tip-tilted, cup-caked, buxom girls are depicted, who delight in baring the charms of their considerable embonpoints to voyeurs, lovers and each other alike.

"Look around you, and you will see many reassuring landmarks. The dome of London's St. Paul's Cathedral, for example... Too much is spoken of phallic objects and edifices, from Cleopatra's Needle to almost every male-designed church spire. But the breast is the female phallus, and we should be more aware of its ubiquity as a landmark. Yes, every cupola and every dome can be suggestive of a beautiful woman. "

The Illustrated Book of Breasts is, pre-eminently, one man's erotic voyage through the tender world of mammary pleasure, in all its visual and tactile splendour.

"A woman's breasts bring you into the presence of God. They usher you into the Elysian Fields where gentle breezes blow and nectar and ambrosia freely flow - dispensed of course by big-breasted nymphs."
