Book Description

From the makers of the cult classic Pop-Up Book of Phobias comes a satirical celebration of celebrities gone wild. Everyone has a bad day now and then. But when superstars fall apart in public, it's international news! The Pop-Up Book of Celebrity Meltdowns puts you front and center as ten of the most spectacular public crack-ups of our day unfold before your eyes. Open the page to trigger a wardrobe malfuntion and watch as Janet Jackson bares all at the Super Bowl . . . Pull the tab and see Tom Cruise leap up on Oprah's couch like an excited puppy . . . From the aerial view of a news copter, watch as a phalanx of squad cars pursues O. J. Simpson's Bronco in slow motion. . . . Brought to life with hilariously humorous caricatures and stunningly ingenious paper engineering, this deluxe, handcrafted gift book proves once and for all that celebrities are just like the rest of us, only much, much more so. AUTHOR BIO: Heather Havrilesky is the TV critic for Salon.com. She co-created Filler, a popular cartoon on Suck.com, with illustrator Terry Colon. Her writing has appeared in Spin, New York Magazine, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, Bookforum, and NPR's All Things Considered. She also maintains the Rabbit Blog, through which she dispenses free bad advice to total strangers. Bruce Foster has created numerous children's pop-up books, including Charles Schulz's Peanuts: A Pop-Up Celebration and Marjorie Priceman's Little Red Riding Hood. Bruce has also engineered moving books and cards for The Museum of Modern Art and other clients. Bruce snips, clips, and glues his movable paper constructions in Houston, Texas. Mick Coulas has parodied celebrities and politicians for publications like The Wall Street Journal and Maxim. His skewed perspective also helps sell mustard, pudding, pickles, and glue. His satirical images are created with digital photography, digitizing pens, chewing gum, bailing wire, and a big Mac. He lives in Toronto with his partner, Candace Lourdes.

Pop-Up Book gets an A minus rating from the Lenster.......2007-05-12

This book is a coffee table gem! It is an outstanding bithday gift for those folks you know who are raunchy and quirky and middle-aged. Extremely clever. Expensive but worth every penny. I loved the O.J. Simpson car chase the best. The only thing I don't like about it is the cover. Michael Jackson looks horrifyingly, frighteningly creepy, which he probably does in real life, too, nevertheless, I'd rather they had put Hugh Grant or Paris Hilton on there, and left Michael off or made him much smaller than the other cover shots. But the book is a wonderful conversation piece. Fun for the whole family (but best to keep out of the hands of small children for a number of reasons).

This is too funny.......2007-03-27

This is a book of hilarious caricatures that will make you laugh out loud, if you have a sense of humor, that is. There are not many fun books for adults so I treasure this all that much more. I think the Tom Cruise addition is too funny for words and Kate Moss and OJ's pages just take it over the top. I got this over the holidays but bought another as a "Get Well" gift. There is nothing that cures like laughter and this will have you rolling on the floor. If you're not into celebrity gossip, this is not for you. If however you enjoy taking a peek at the lives of the rich and infamous, get yourself a copy and have at it. Too, too funny.

Gave as a gift.......2007-03-21

I gave this to my GF for Christmas and all of her family seemed to be amused with the great 'pop up' action! Jackson dangling the baby out of the window was a riot!!!

Customer Reviews:

Not worth it.......2007-03-19

If you want toys that your S&M friends will laugh at then buy this book. If you are just going to play lightly here and there then you might find it useful. Personally, as inexpensive as most S&M toys are I'd say just buy them.

I did find the flogger weaving a bit helpful though (thus the 2 stars) so that might come in handy for you.

Wow, Have I Got a Lot of Building to Do!!.......2007-02-05

This is a very informative, well-crafted book with lots of great projects for those with a kinky flair. Projects range from very quick & simple to very complex and time-consuming. If you can't find at least one project in this book that you want to craft, then you are not serious about the lifestyle and should not waste your money.

Over priced.......2007-01-12

This would be a good book except fot its price. Text book prices have been coming down in BDSM. This one seems overpriced for the content. If you are good enough to build these projects your probably good enough to design them.

Clear and Concise.......2006-10-22

I am always looking for plans and "how to" information when it comes to BDSM equipment and technique this is one of the most thurough books I have seen out there. For the price, there is certainly a lot of information crammed into 398 pages.

One individual commented on the lack of constuction technique; and all I can say here is, this is a just a concise book of "How to" not a guide on wood working or leather craft. There are books and videos on the market that delv into those areas and I sincerely do not think the intent of the book is to teach the finer points of construction but rather a simplistic guide to building what you need. There are so many trade skills involved in building BDSM equipment that you simply can not cram all of that knowledge into one book.

I am very inpressed with what is presented and how it is layed out in the this book.

Play Safe

Best book yet........2006-08-09

I've poured through many books similar to this one but none come even close to the information provided inside. The instructions are easy to follow and very thorough. The designs are smart and the pictures quite good. If you want to make your own equipment you just can't go wrong with this book.

ToyGasms! Book by Sadie Allison

Customer Reviews:

LOVED IT!!!!.......2007-03-26

Toy Gasms! What's in a name? Everything that's what! This book is spicy and tantalizing from cover to cover! It helps with choosing your first toy and how to use it to get O soooo happy to see it each time you use it. Techniques abound and pictures galore are packed into this fun tastful book on toys. I believe this book can help everyone enjoy a more sensual experience solo or not! I highly recommend this fact filled book to a first timer or a person who has been there done that and just want to know where to now?

Va Va Vroom!.......2006-07-12

Well, I used to consider myself a bedroom minx until I read this book. It's packed with toys and tidbits that I just didn't know about. Though my vibrator and I have been good friends since college, I was completely clueless about the variety of sex toys available. I also didn't know about all the super stimulating techniques I was missing in my play (this book has over 40 of them).

Dr. Allison takes the time to go into detail about a variety of naughty products, their uses, and care. Sex toy shopping is a whole new experience. I go into stores knowing precisely what I want, and how to use it. Weather it vibrates or just glides, I've been very happy following Sadie's advice.

Batteries Included!!!.......2005-10-27

Sadie's book was extremely informative! I recently purchased my first toy and needed a starting point! She gave great info. about.....

-Toys, toys, toys, all shapes, sizes, textures!
-Positions for him, her, and us!
-Cleaning, Caring and Lubricating
-Descreate storage
-All the lil details I didn't know!

Sadie did everything short of drawing a map to the nearest sex shop! :)

I liked how she describe each stlye of toy, without promoting a specific brand.... this gave me ideas about what to try without "pushing" any particular name brand. It made all the info. seem more important than the products.

Information... not an informerial! :)

What can I say, I thought the book was great!

A jumping off point.......2005-08-02

I had no idea where to begin when I went out to buy my first toy. While I was shopping at my local shop I found this book. I bought it and read it cover to cover! It was so great in helping me choose which type of toy I wanted to try and once I had that one for a bit it helped me decide what my "moving up" toy would be. I love it because it doesn't give specific brands but it does tell me what the different types do so I could go to my local store gather up all the similar ones and see which one called my name! I also thought the chapter about springing sex toys on your lover was great and very helpful.

Great manual for sex toys.......2005-02-04

I've always been curious about sex toys but always afraid to ask the salesperson "how do you use this?". Until I found this book...it has educated me on how to use toys with myself and my boyfriend! "Toygasms" has great illustrations and is an easy read. It gives you different techniques and tips and I recommend it to anyone who is curious about sex toys.

Book Description

What do you get when you combine the classic, almost 2,000-year-old Indian treatise on the art of love with the most up-to-date paper-engineering techniques? The Pop-Up Kama Sutra!

This lively distillation of the world's most famous sex guide features choice excerpts from the original text, translated in 1883 by the renowned explorer Sir Richard Burton, and is illustrated with vintage color plates from India. Best of all, six incredible pop-ups present the Kama Sutra's most interesting, instructive, and wildly acrobatic positions in three dimensions. More Bollywood than museum piece, this fun gift book adds a new dimension to the literature of lust and romance.

Customer Reviews:

Poorly made and with a lack of information.......2006-11-10

I was greatly disappointed in this "pop up"book.
The lack of information and the actual design was a failure.
I would strongly recommend having a CD with this book to make it of any value.

The Perfect Bachelor Gift.......2005-07-28

We all know men never grow up past the age of 15 or so. What better to give them than a POP UP book about Kama Sutra! I got it as a gift for a guy friend of mine, and he absolutely loved it. Definitely nothing wrong with this book!

Perfect for Bachelorette Parties.......2005-06-27

This book is beautifully illustrated in a traditional Indian style, very detailed. The pop-ups themselves are fun. I wouldn't recommend this book for someone who really wants to learn the positions, but it's a great novelty for someone who can handle the risque nature of it. I gave this to a friend of mine at her bachelorette party and it was a big hit, even over the skimpy outfits and novelty "sheaths". I've gone back and bought extras to keep on hand for other such occasions.

Great Pop-ups!!! Very Fun Book! For for everyone.......2004-07-13

This book was awesome!!! I dont know why several reviewers complained. Norman is right, they are WAY to critical! If you want a full version go and buy a full version. This is a great compliment to any full version. I would Highly Recommended it as the pop ups are really fun and look awesome. If they overloaded the book with all of the original material it would take away from the Beauty of the pop-ups. The colours and pages are very Beautiful, all of the pages are glossy and its a hardcover (which is about 1 square foot surface area btw. I thought it would be a smaller book b4 i received it). 5 of the 6 pop ups have tabs that you can pull and make the pop-ups move. The suspension pose looks really cool when you move her up and down, up and down hehehehe :) I'm sure that if its a party a couple or just a person reading it, they will find it very enjoyable and get a good laugh here and there. Very Fun book!

Awesome Pop Ups!!! Fun for everyone!!.......2004-07-13

Are you intimidated by your neighborhood sex toy store? Are you baffled by online sex toy shops? Ever wished sex toys came with a user's manual? Well, now they do. Sex Toys 101 is the first fully illustrated, comprehensive guide to the world of sex toys. Practical and authoritative, yet playful and accessible, Sex Toys 101 tells you everything you ever wanted to know but were afraid to ask about sex toys, from vibrators and dildos to lubricants and butt plugs.

Also included are answers to the most frequently asked questions:

Will my vibrator give me an electrical shock?

Is it possible to become addicted?

Could they desensitize me?

Will my girlfriend's sex toy replace me?

Sex Toys 101 presents much-needed information and gentle encouragement to a wide range of readers, both female and male, gay and straight, from the uninitiated and curious to the avid, experienced sex toy aficionado.

Customer Reviews:

Nice overview.......2005-12-04

Tastefully done. This book covers every basic sex toy there is, plus gives sound advice. It's a fun read and didn't leave me grossed out. (And the vulva puppet *is* awfully cute!)

Fun AND Informative book!! .......2005-08-29

I bought this book for my sister-in-law as a gift for her personal bridal shower. She LOVED it!!

I paged through the book a little before giving it to her and I thought it was great as well. Full of fun trivia, great information and tips, and bright and colorful photography. The layout is really nice - modern and eye-catching!

As for the content, I learned things just from the little that I read as I was skimming through it!

I would HIGHLY recommend this for anyone who wants to learn about the different sex toys out there (Who knew there were SOOO many?!) - expecially women, since this book really does strive to make women feel comfortable and welcome in the world of pleasure enhancers that has previously been somewhat intimidating to the fairer sex.

Thanks to the authors, artists, and editors that made this book so fun - both to read and to look at! :)

What did you get for Christmas?.......2005-01-10

Written by the founders of the store Toys in Babeland this book is truly an uninhibited guide to erotic toys. Written in modern day language this book is a great reference guide, especially if you happen to be too shy to walk into your local sexual aid store. If you don't live in a very big town you probably will not find a store with an informed staff that can show you what's available and help you pick out a toy to meet your needs so this book is a perfect guide.

I must confess, in the past I've never been interested in toys so this book was quite refreshing to read. It gives you a great introduction to the toys available on the market. There are ten chapters that cover sexual anatomy (briefly), sexual expression & communication, vibrators, dildos & strap-ons, toys for men, lubricant (a whole chapter, WOW), bondage & domination, SM, and safety. Each chapter gives you, in detail everything you need to know about the highlighted toy pictured from what it's made of, to how to care for the toy. They even tell you the history of such toys and how to use each one featured in the book.

This book is not only aesthetically pleasing to the eye with its colorful still life photographs of sexual toys but its overall design, texture, and feel. It's just heavy enough to warrant the price I paid for it, every page is glossy & smooth, and the writing is forward & fun. Where else will you see a section titled, `Dildos are for everyone'.

Oh, before I forget, my favorite thing in the whole book was the "Wondrous Vulva Puppet" by House O'Chicks. It so intrigued me and it was beautiful.

It's a great book full of fun stuff but with all that great info no where did I see how to use those `ben wa' balls I got for Christmas, but don't let that stop you from reading this book. It's great.

girldiver:)

Colorful and well-written.......2004-06-10

On one hand this is a product manual hyping what "Toys in Babeland" sells but it is also a great example of sexual information made fun and readily available. The photographs are excellent and well laid out so the book is pleasing visually. The information is well-written and well-researched with opinions back by experience and facts. Contrary to the store's name, there is not just toys and information for women. There are also nice little stories about how the store has affected people's lives, both customers and workers. I just wish the resource list was longer.

Big hit with my whole family!.......2003-11-25

I took this book with me to a family gathering, and everyone wanted to see it; my mom, sisters, their boyfriends, husbands... my brother asked for a copy for Christmas! All the toys were so beautifully photographed that my brother didn't mind his little kids going through it. I think they were too little to know what it all was, though.[...]

Customer Reviews:

Handyperson skills required.......2002-11-08

If you are good with crafts and building things and you are kinky, then this is a great book for you. The 99 different projections range from simple 10 minute creations to furniture that will take a few days to make. Cost to make also varies from a buck or two to over a hundred dollars. I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars because this is a collection of projects by several different people and thus the instructions vary greatly in terms of technical knowledge required to follow them. The "fundamentals" section which starts the book attempts to help those of us with less craft knowledge, but frankly it may not be enough help.

BDSM on a budget.......2001-02-19

Kinkycrafts contains 99 "Do it Yourself" S&M projects organized into six major catagories: bondage furniture,... pain toys, flagellation toys, restraints, sexual toys and unclassifiable (items like tongue condoms and tool racks). Each project has instructions, a materials list, cost estimate, time estimate and a picture.

The pictures are useful to see the end product, the instructions are easy to follow, the materials lists are good to get your started and the cost/time estimates are fairly accurate. I am not a big believer that cheap S&M toys are a good idea as a I believe that they somewhat ruin the "ambiance" of a scene - many of these toys could not be mistaken for anything but a cheap substitute. However, if you can't afford the exorbitant fees charged for many S&M toys, this book contains may reasonable and safe alternatives.

Despite my reservation about cheap toys, the book was worth more than it's cost simply for the dungeon furniture layouts. These designs are fantastic and will save you many painful hours of trying to construct dungeon furniture that often can not be found unless you are near a major city. I have made four separate "pieces' based on designs in the book and each was a great success.

Wonderful book for making your own toys!.......2000-01-22

This guide gives instructions on making your own SM toys using mostly inexpensive materials. This book explains how to build up to 99 different "toys." If you can't afford expensive toys or like me are just too cheap to go out and buy them, this book is for you!

A unique book........1999-11-15

This book is great! Of course, it's not for everyone, but some of these ideas are brilliant! What a great way to enhance your love life, without having to spend much money on expensive toys...My mate and I have never been so excited to go to a hardware store! You might even be able to buy some of your supplies from Amazon now, since they're selling hardware too...

AMAZING!!!!!.......1999-11-04

I was sceptical at first at the quality of 'toys' I could actually produce myself, however the book is very easy to follow and has a wide range of ideas for beginner to sexpert.I can admit that my room has become a veritable playroom with its own stacked and much used toybox. Have no fear - this book really 'delivers' I never knew a drill could become so much fun.....;-)

Great reference!.......2007-01-06

I've not yet read this from cover to cover but so far so good! Lots of questions answered on why which toys are meant for which function! I can't wait to put the knowledge to use! I highly recommend this if you are a beginnger to adult toys like I am!

good information, easy to read.......2005-12-30

This book is great, especially if you read through the chapters with your partner. It really helps facilitate communication about exactly what is enjoyable in using sex toys with each other. It gives great variations on using specific toys, and introduced us to toys of which we were unaware. The book is enjoyable to read and really made it easy for my girlfriend and I to talk to each other about what we read in the book.

I recommend buying a few inexpensive toys along with the book just so you have something to play with while you read through the chapters, and reading the chapters to each other really helps make the experience more romantic and not just sexual.

A book to get started on the road to useing sex toys.......2005-05-21

I like this book. This book has little illusions but very informational. It shows the basic things in sex toys and masturbation with or without your partner. I keep the book handy for reference.

Everything you'd ever want to know about sex toys.......2004-10-15

Anne Semans sold sex toys for many years and brings her vast knowledge, insights, and wit to her great guide. If you're new to sex toys, this is the perfect introduction. And if you have a nightstand full of vibes and other toys, I bet you'll still find useful information in The Many Joys of Sex Toys. Two thumbs up...or perhaps two magic wands.

This book is useful!.......2004-10-06

I've enjoyed my vibrator for years, but I kept it private. This book gave me the push I needed to talk about it with my boyfriend. We had such a good time following the book's advice about how to share a vibrator that we're going to check out some other toys too.

a class in a book.......2007-02-03

This is a great little book. covers all the basic areas and shares some stories as well. the second best thing to a hands on class.

Lots of information in a small book.......2004-11-04

In five chapters and just over one hundred pages Jack Rinella gives us advice, suggestions, and basic safety tips to using one of the most commonly found and versatile toys in sex: clips and clamps. 19 photographs give us a view of the various devices (he lists 20 of them) that can be used as well as some examples of how to use them. Rinella talks about his own experiences as well as those of seven others who shared their tales with him in emails. He also gives us five simple yet important rules for using them safely so you can focus on the fun.

Quick "Clip and clamp toy guide".......2004-04-15

You could almost call this handy little book, the 'everything you need to know about clips and clamps guide in a "pinch.' Although that bad pun would take away from the fact that the author Jack Rinella has put together a lot of valuable information in a very small, quickly read (I finished this in under an hour) book. He also includes several photographs of various types of clamps (from clothespins to menacing looking Japanese clover clamps), along with short descriptions of clamp play scenes he's received from various people in emails over the last year or so.

The book as mentioned is a short read and contains just five chapters (you could almost read this before doing this type of scene). Besides an introductory chapter, there are also chapters devoted to "pain management," clothespins, even "advanced clamping." Oh my. I've enjoyed Jack's other books and this one makes it clear he knows a great deal about the art of "clip and clamp play."

Good for beginners...........2001-11-09

All I could say is "Been there, Done that". It is more for couples who are starting to spice up there relationship. I found nothing new and disagreed (and so did my husband) with one of the chapters regarding a male taboo.

Not what I expected.......2001-11-09

After reading the book, all I could say was "Been there, done that". It is more for beginners who are first trying to spice up there marriage. I found nothing new or helpful and even disagreed (and so did my husband) on one of the chapters suggestion.

Don't give this book too early in the relationship.......2000-06-15

My current fiance gave me this book after we had been dating for less than 1 month (as a X-Mas gift). I didn't know how to interpret his gesture, and he left for over 2 weeks after giving it to me. If you do give it, be sure to do so IN PERSON! She has some wonderful ideas in this book, just as I said before, be careful how you give this....and definately don't give it as a first and only X-Mas gift!

Definitely for beginners.......2000-03-26

I found the book to be just a tad above the level of those true confession magazines, intriquing to me as a teenager but not sophisticated enough to be of interest to me as a mature adult. The presentation of the sexual vignettes seemed contrived. Perhaps the book would be helpful to younger, less experienced lovers.

This book definately opens the lines of communication!!!.......1999-06-11

This book was great for my boyfriend and I. He was the type that thought he knew it all, much to his surprise he realizes there is more than bedroom sex. It began the wheels of intamacy turning and they have not stopped yet. Some of the games are basic but they also give new ideas to old games, and it touches on some "forbidden" areas that alot of people would have difficulty talking about without the book as an aide. It opens the doors to excitiment and fun.
