Not to be confused with a book about big pussies, The Big Book of Pussy closed out the popular Body Parts series in 2011 with an offering that was as controversial as it was popular. As in previous volumes, editor Dian Hanson delves into the historical significance of this body part to tell how the female genitalia have been desired, feared, reviled, and idolized by civilizations around the world, from New Guinea to old Ireland. The text is peppered with naughty photographs of women showing their vulvae, from 1900 to 2010. And with over 400 photographs, it cuts right to the point: from natural hairy-looking options to stylishly groomed ones.
Adaptation in subject, size and design of the popular The Big Book of Pussy to the more manageable and affordable format of the Bibliotheca Universalis series, this book is ideally suited to meet the needs of consumers, like the gentleman who commented on Amazon: "Who wants Let your postman know that you bought a book on crotch that weighs two tons? Don't worry, dear fussy friend! Their pussies now arrive in a discreet size of 14 x 19.5 centimeters!
Interviews are included with the author known as the Pussyman, the ex-cop who turned masturbation into a million-dollar business thanks to a toy called the Fleshlight; the queen of the clitoris Vanessa del Río; porn star Flower Tucci and vaginal performance artist Mouse. Contemporary photographers Richard Kern, Ralph Gibson, Jan Saudek, Guido Argentini and Ed Fox, among others, show off their favorite shots of female genitalia so desirable they'll make even the most timid reader exclaim: Come here, bunny, bunny!
