    I was excited to find this book at a charity shop, but I was familiar with his art. Eric Stanton is a brilliant artist who is known for work with a strong emphasis on female dominance over men and also other women.
    The clerk in the charity shops' eyes lit up when I plonked that on the counter. He said "You beat me to it!".

    From inside the cover to the last cover it is full of erotic illustrations and insights into the machinations of the artist. The stories in the comic art and the biography running throughout the book are compulsive reading.

    It's a big book, about A3 size, containing his works spanning from the 1940s to the 1990s... hard to conceal on the bookshelf! I like to think that Eric Stanton knew this, that the owner he had in mind when creating the book would enjoy having such a provocative title and bright red jacket screaming attention from the bookshelf. It's a great conversation starter.

    What a fantastic lucky find @Pathetic and no doubt at a good price

    You are fortunate it even found its way to the shelf as many workers in the charity /thrift shops have first pick.

    @maid_carrie Yes indeed I thought it was a fortunate find. It seems no one had looked at it closely, because if they'd opened it they might have found it a little bit too strong for the shelves of a charity shop!

    Nice find! Maybe you can scan some of the best illustrations and start an ongoing thread here so we can all enjoy :)

    My thought too ;)

    I see it commands quite a price on US Amazon booksellers - so a great find :)
