Explicitly illustrated, though scholarly - THE TIMES A romp through 2,000 years of art history's frankest moments - THE GUARDIAN It's the refusal to bow to censorship that makes this book such a jolting insight into the precarious nature between art and pornography
 - it manages to be both light-heartedly entertaining and seriously thought-provoking - ARTISTS AND ILLUSTRATORS
