Customer Review: Buyer beware!

I've bought a number of Tom Ang's books, and in general find them to be informative, well written, and good value for money. This particular book, however, is none of the aforementioned.

I bought Tom & Wendy's previous book "Erotic Home Photography: How to Take Your Own Nude Portraits", thinking it would be a good introductory book on the subject. I was quite disappointed to find that the writing was poor, the subject matter not as advertised, and the photography of an extremely low standard. Indeed, the author even admitted that the photo's had been done in a day, just before the book was due to go to press.

I decided to buy this book, thinking that it would be an improvement on the other one, that the authors had learned from their previous book, and that this one would be a significantly better work. I was sadly mistaken. The book is merely a re-titled, soft cover version of "Erotic Home Photography: How to Take Your Own Nude Portraits".

While it's the author's prerogative to title a book any way he or she pleases, I can't help but feel that in this case the exercise was nothing more than a trick to squeeze an extra dollar out of the unwary with the absolute minimum amount of work on the authors' part.

Under normal circumstances I'd be happy to recommend this book to others, I simply can't say that this is a good buy.
