Summary: Big may be an understatement!
Comment: To my surprise, this hefty volume featuring wonderful male anatomy arrived at my doorstep today. I can't complain much because, well... this book is big... and full of many, many photos, intriguing stories, and glimpses into the photographers and model's lives.
I have only two nit-picky complaints to this highly anticipated release. One, being (upon arrival) the clear dust jacket featuring undies, which keeps the book somewhat less provocative came warped, wrinkled, and virtually unpresentable. This is less than what I come to expect from Tashen books. I'm willing to overlook this factor because this may simply be an isolated case.
The other thing is, many of the photographs in The Big Penis Book seemed somewhat repetitive... same pose, different model. Again, just a little quirk I noticed. Despite that, this hardcover remains a wonderful addition to your collection to flaunt to guests. Great for those ice breaker moments!
In so many words, I recommend this book to everyone who can appreciate erotic photography as an art form - and of course - those fascinated with the male member.

Summary: Kind of a BIG disappointment
Comment: I am a straight female who got this book out of pure curiosity. Come on girls, a book that is solely dedicated to big penises! Well, it is a big book, and it does have a LOT of penis in it. Real photographs of naked men. I was sadly disappointed though, because the book just gave me a "gay" vibe while thumbing through all those pages of penis. It has chapters of the history of different male photographers, all gay, who have their pictures of their photographed men. Most of the men are really unattractive, and some of the penises too. Well, if you are a gay man, you are probably going to LOVE this book and put it on your coffee table with pride! Otherwise, you might want to hold on to your cash.
P.S. I'm going to sell mine back through Amazon.

Summary: BIGGEST IS YET TO COME
Comment: Although this book does add to the "growing" body of vintage gay erotica and pornography documentation, a review of the truly big site www.timinvermont.com would have allowed the author and editors to identify many of the unidentified models, some of whom are identified elsewhere in the book.
