Summary: The Male Nude is an unprecedented collection of male nudity
Review: The Male Nude is the best book I have seen depicting the male anatomy. The sheer volume of material gives the reader an extrordinary chance to see excellent pictures that may have gone unseen had it not been for this publication. If anyone is seriously interested in fine art as well as erotic and sometimes haunting images then this book should be in your collection! (I hope that Leddick will release a part two to this one!!!)

Summary: Good General History of an Artform
Review: There isn't much else I can say that I didn't cover in the title of my review. This is a good collection of photographs divided into time periods, each of which is given a brief essay introduction by Leddick. Leddick, while not a brilliant art historian, is the best I've found on this controversial and often overlooked artform.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Value for money
Review: This book gives an extensive tour of the history of male nudity in photos. The text is interesting, but it is of course the photographs that catches the eye... From early anonymous photographers, to the present stars Mapplethorpe etc., we are given the chance to explore the natural beauty of male nude photography.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Lush and Outstanding!!
Review: This book is essential to anyone who loves the sublimity of the human male form, whether of straight Or homoerotic nature. The beautiful photographs cover the male nude from 1870's to the present. Many Rare and Never-Before-Seen Photos are inside, on every page. Kinda wish it was hardcover, but that's about my only complaint. A must-have for any lover of the human form or anyone studying the human form. Excellent and Unprecedented!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Absolutely outstanding!
Review: This is the BEST collection of photography of the nude male body I have seen since I began buying books in this category in 1974! 768 pages comprising the history of this category, ending with some exquisitie Bruce Weber photos I've never seen. A must-buy!
