This book is more of a coffee table book, thanks to its size and the fact that its loaded with pictures. Having said that, I don't know who would put this on their coffee table as parts of the book are disgusting.
The pictures are plentiful and there is a brief description on each one. A lot of these I had never seen so it was interesting. The text is kept to a minimum, but I did find some of it interesting.
This is great for people who are really into this type of thing. But the book is way overpriced.
