EDITORIAL REVIEW

A fully illustrated Kama Sutra from the extraordinary and rare art collection of Lance Dane

• The first complete translation to illustrate all 64 sexual postures described in the Kama Sutra • Includes 250 rare images • Composed by one of the world's foremost scholars of the Kama Sutra and Indian art

The erotic sentiments described in the Hindu love classic the Kama Sutra constitute the most famous work on sex ever created. Written almost 2,000 years ago, the Kama Sutra deals with all aspects of sexual life, including the principles and techniques of sexual pleasure and how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life's beauty.

In this complete and illustrated guide Lance Dane accompanies the Kama Sutra text with 250 illustrations and great works of art that encompass coins, palm leaf manuscripts, sculptures, ancient toys, jewelry, architecture, ivory combs, birch bark, cloth, paintings, frescoes, and scrolls. Gathered from museums and private collections around the world-as well as the author's own collection of over 300,000 photographs-these rare images clearly illustrate all 64 sexual positions and the erotic instructions set forth in the Kama Sutra. The result is a dazzling and sensuous reading experience through which the teachings of the Kama Sutra spring to life.

ABOUT THIS BOOK

USER REVIEWS

Very good book.......
~ Written on Apr 1, 2009. out of 1 users found this review helpful.

It is a good book, and well written. It also seems to strike up conversations from people who see you reading it. :-D

Historical and a little misleading
~ Written on Feb 27, 2009. out of 2 users found this review helpful.

I guess I didn't pay enough attention, and went with this book based way too much on the title. "Complete illustrated" made me think it was supposed to be the kama sutra, complete with pictures. What this book really was about, was pretty much summarizing the philosophies of the kama sutra, and not with the accompanying illustrations that you would expect. Oh, well.

Described appropriately

I thought this book lived up to its description. The illustrations were many, and artistic. Some of the ancient rituals made me chuckle. It was a very interesting read if you kept it in its historical perspective. If you're looking for porn, this is not your book.

Oops!

Not quite what I thought. There's nothing wrong with it, but I wish I hadn't bought it. What the heck, it's just money, right?!

Zero if it had the option

This guide provides nothing more than the history instead of a guide on Karma Sutra. Wish I could sue the author for such lies!
