Product Description
A fully illustrated Kama Sutra from the extraordinary and rare art collection of Lance Dane
• The first complete translation to illustrate all 64 sexual postures described in the Kama Sutra
• Includes 269 rare images
• Composed by one of the world’s foremost scholars of the Kama Sutra and Indian art
The erotic sentiments described in the Hindu love classic the Kama Sutra constitute the most famous work on sex ever created. Written almost 2,000 years ago, the Kama Sutra deals with all aspects of sexual life, including the principles and techniques of sexual pleasure and how to best achieve ecstatic expression of life’s beauty. In this complete and illustrated guide Lance Dane accompanies the Kama Sutra text with 269 illustrations and great works of art that encompass coins, palm leaf manuscripts, sculptures, ancient toys, jewelry, architecture, ivory combs, birch bark, cloth, paintings, frescoes, and scrolls. Gathered from museums and private collections around the world—as well as the author’s own collection of over 300,000 photographs—these rare images clearly illustrate all 64 sexual positions and the erotic instructions set forth in the Kama Sutra. The result is a dazzling and sensuous reading experience through which the teachings of the Kama Sutra spring to life.

Oops!, 2008-10-27
Not quite what I thought. There's nothing wrong with it, but I wish I hadn't bought it. What the heck, it's just money, right?!

Kama Sutra, 2008-02-17
Historically very interesting and informative.
Drawings are quaint.It does give a better insight into the subject of human sexuality.
SOMETHING OLD & SOMETHING NEW, 2008-07-01
Nothing can't really beat the Kama Sutra for information about sex and relationships. The ancient text is suprisingly informative and helpful, even in our modern age. A lovely book with nice illustrations that everyone should have in their library. That is the "something old." If you are looking for "something new" to add to your library along with the Kama Sutra, try The Sensuous Couple's (Flip Over) Guide to Seismic Oral Sex. This text is a flip over book that gives you everything you need to know about cunnilingus on one side, then flip it over you can learn everything you need to know about fellatio. If you want to make your library totally complete, add Five Minutes to Orgasm Every Time You Make Love: Female Orgasm Made Simple to the mix. You won't ever have to buy any more books. Your library is complete.
Zero if it had the option, 2008-07-17
This guide provides nothing more than the history instead of a guide on Karma Sutra. Wish I could sue the author for such lies!
BEAUTIFUL ILLUSTRATIONS, 2007-12-28
This book gives you not only the original text of the 14th century Kama Sutra, like some other books also do, but it also gives you beautifully photos from very old and newer drawings, medals, pottery and many other art forms. The photos relate to the topic dealt with at that partical episode.
A book you should place for ever in your library, not only the hardcore sex-fanatic, but also every person interested in literature and in the origin of our Western culture.
