Title: Disappointing
Review: Oh, had I known this was merely a "comic book" style of book. I expected an actual, albeit short, history of erotica but instead got a simple view of different peoples and time periods in far too short of text with accompanying images. I've been asked to design a course for my university as an experiment and have been trying, unsuccessfully to find approach books about the history of erotica, particularly the written kind. This book will not do at all for as I read it, my familiarity with several of the cultures briefly looked at showed me that the book has very very little depth or understanding of those cultures (here I am especially referring to the ancient Greek, Roman, Mesopotamian, and Egyptian cultures). The only saving points are that 1) this book tries to show erotica (here almost exclusively of the visual sort) from around the world and throughout time and 2) it has a good definition of erotica on the sixth page.
