If you want to learn a bit more about the culture behind the art,and know little to nothing about it at this point,this book will as they say be your “bible”.
1.0 out of 5 stars

This book has full frontal nudity. The binding is terrible. The whole book fell apart after a dozen circs. It does have lots of color photos in it.

The photos are brilliant but the book is so poorly bound that it fell apart the moment we opened it. The book should have been a hard cover. It was cheaply produced. A real let down.
