Usually a production of pool pornography involves a bored housewife or two and a cabana boy but this one is not your average coffee table fap book, unless you're a "water shape designer" as apparently some highfalutin pool architects like to call themselves. The infinity pools just keep on coming, page after page, in full color two page hardcore shots of glistening possibly airbrushed upper class exotic beauties from around the world. The best of them feature an exquisite mix of au naturale and fashionabe trappings designed to frame the available assets. The details begin to blur, and I quit reading the sparse text a quarter of the way in, but I couldn't stop drinking in the fantasy as long as there was one more page to go in that search for the perfect finish. In the end though, I'm left vaguely unsatisfied. This would have been better as an iPad app with an upsell to VRBO at the end.
