This work would probably never make it to the bookshelves today. Indeed, it is astonishing that it ever saw light of day beyond the underground world of sordid publications. This book is a collection of pederastic erotica thinly disguised as a study in photography. Although it is tame and comes nowhere near anything sexual, its mere choice of subject matter is edgey and dangerous. I give it four stars based on theme more than on content and execution. ( )
