Pregnant Pictures

Summary: Not quite what you'd expect...
Review: It's an okay photo reference, with a lot of pictures that provide a whole variety of moods, poses, and expressions - some clashing in theme from one page to the next... I guess the best way to describe it is chaos in a photo-literary work.

I gave it 3 stars as it was not all-in-all bad, but it was not quite as I expected, and not quite useful if you purchased it for the same reason I did (drawing study reference). However, there is enough material in this book that you could use it as such - I would just recommend you purchase the Paperback Edition, as the Library Binding one is Overkill (as I found out)...

Summary: Interesting, but a little........much
Review: The idea that images of pregnant women are missing from the mainstream media is an interesting one. Unfortunately, this book hashes this notion out in the most dense, uninteresting prose imaginable.

And the illustrations are of pregnant women in various forms of undress, in shocking positions and situations, and looking none-too-appealing.

An idea that could have been confined to an article. And could have been done with photos that were just a little less revolting.
