Dieux du Stade Hardcover – December 15, 2015

In the traditional quality and look of the previous books from the same series....

ok. it's a nice book with pretty pics of great looking, athletic men. HOWEVER, i don't know why Mr. Goudon GOES SO OUT OF HIS WAY to COVER THE PENIS as if it were dirty or ILLEGAL! personally, as a buyer of many photo books (not just nudes) i feel rather cheated. Tony Duran's version of Dieux du Stade was much better, and did beautiful full nudes of some models. I KNOW it's not because all; the athletes in the book wouldn't do full frontal nudity, because SOME DON"T GIVE A S*** WHETHER THEIR PENIS SHOWS OR NOT! it's the photographer's decision (and corporate hierarchy at DUS i believe). If you want to see natural nudity and men in all their glory, THIS IS NOT THE BOOK FOR YOU! would i have bought it knowing there was no full nudity? NO... so i hope this helps someone else considering to buy this book. I just really find it so wrong to do beautiful nudes and have a hand cover a penis that looks so UNNATURAL and generates more phobia about the nude male body. (it's ok to be nude, just don't show your penis) WRONG!

It is another very well done book with great photographs. Goudon has once more shown the physique of the players in a very reflective way. His work is, as usual, very commendable.

Hot photos

Omg I was Wishing for So much more. This book could have been epic. Instead, many shots felt so contrived that i felt pitiful for the photographer for the missed opportunities

I had a prior version of this book that I LOVED with full nudity. This version does not have full nudity and there are many blank pages. I bought this as a gift for my friend and am extremely disappointed!

At first glance it seemed disappointing and it also seems less thick that the previous one. Fred does shoot well, and is very talented, I have his other books, you can tell he thinks about his work and he wants to leave a lasting impression. The books does not have frontal nudity, but has some delightful rear shots throughout the book and you can see it on the front cover. I love it, but I also feel that the price should be a little lower, I got in at a discount price and feel it was appropiate. The book focuses on each player individually moslty with face shots, there are some black men too for those who like diversity, I am not interested in the players but the beauty of the male form, and I think on that point is upsets me, Fred could have delivered much more than what was printed, a bit more nudity instead of facial shots and blank pages would be much better. Again if you can get it at a discount price then you are doing good, I would not pay full price or would look into like-new price tag and that is the bottom line. Overall its sexy, masculine, and well done, a great addition to your coffee table book collection or for any male nudity book collector like me.

Not worth the money for 14 blank pages! The blank pages are even numbered.. what’s the point?
