199 Vaginas: The Ultimate Photo Collection Paperback – December 21, 2009

I got this for my boyfriend as kind of a gag gift since he is a vagina aficionado, and he really likes it. He said he would like more spreading the clotoris was not shown off enough. It was a little expensive for what it is but I enjoyed the results haha

"199 Vaginas: The Ultimate Photo Collection" is anything but what the title says. Unfortunately, this book does not do the subject matter justice at all. While the concept of the book is great; a collection of much diversity, the execution was just horrible. The editor of this book should be canned.As someone who deeply appreciates the subject matter of this book, I was very let down by the low resolution and low quality of every photo in the book. its quite unfortunate because the pictures could have been very good. But when I buy a book whose central focus is the vagina, I expect to get a book of high quality images on thick, glossy stock. I expect to get a book of vaginas that shows explicit detail where i can see every line, every follicle of hair and every drop of moisture. Instead, I get a book of matte stock and low resolution images in which up close detail is severely lacking. Its insulting to the viewer, and its insulting to the subject matter. Images look pixelated, and when you come across an image that was shot three feet away or more from the subject, you can't see any detail, only vague, blocky representations of what appears to be a vagina.This book was made to show us a diverse variety of vaginas, but instead we got crappy collection of distorted vulvas.I will be returning this book. If it was reprinted with higher quality images, I might consider adding this one to my collection. But as it stands right now, its a waste of time and money, even to that serious connoisseur of the subject matter. If you're looking for a book full of vaginas, might I suggest you take a 'pass' on this one.

I love to look at women's vaginas. This is an art book. I like to see how different vaginas look. If you are a connoisseur then you will like this book. Definitely not a jerk off book. It's more about admirering the thing we are all after.

199 Vaginas would be an appropriate name for the book. The Ultimate Photo Collection, not so much. The pictures are mostly, as the title suggests, close-ups of vaginas. Those that are of more than just a close-up, depict women in very boring, repetetive poses. It's hard to believe I would call a photo book on this subkect boring, but it is. The photos might as well have been taken for a medical text book. There is no context, no descriptions. Just pussies. Maybe I should have known better, given the title of the book, but the body part, without the context of the body to which it belongs, isn't all that interesting. Especially after, maybe, the 20th similar shot. Since at least the first part of the title is a fairly accurate description of what's inside, I give the book 3 stars. But, in terms of how the subject is depicted in other such publications, it's really a 2 star book, at best.

The correct title of this book should be:199 Pictures of Vaginas that I Downloaded CollectionI'm a bit concerned about this book. The copy I received has no copyright information in it There is no publication information(including publisher's name or address) in it! There are no model disclaimers stating that the models in the book were all over the age of 18 when the photos were taken! (Do I now possess pictures of underage girls' vaginas?)BUYER BEWARE!The images aren't that good either. Each is only 4"X3". It's printed on low quality paper for color photos. Lots of the photos have digital compression noise in them (often from download and file size). There is a lack of consistency in the photos, all the angles and lighting varies. Most artist/photographers will have a signature style to their pieces.Is there no copyright or publisher info in this book because all the content is someone else's art and it was re-sized, cropped and used without permission? Could be!

Incorrect use of the word vagina, ridiculous for what is supposed to be a celebration of anatomy. VAGINAS CAN ONLY BE VIEWED USING A SPECULUM, I DIDN'T SEE ANY IN THIS BOOK.Poor quality photo reproduction and paper. Almost all models are partially or fully shaved, very few non-white skinned models. Disappointing, porn parading as art.

if you were interested in the ultimate boobs collection this is theperfect complement to that book. This is about the otherpart of the female anatomy that garner ones curiousity aboutfemale sexuality. Again about every permutation of thisfemale physical characteristic is found in here.

99 some odd vaginas for your viewing pleasure. If they had a museum honoring vaginas and I think they should, this book would be amongst the collection.
