Product Description

Some call it the American obsession, but men everywhere recognize the hypnotic allure of a large and shapely breast. In "The Big Book of Breasts", Dian Hanson explores the origins of mammary madness through three decades of natural big-breasted nudes. Starting with the World War II Bosom-Mania that spawned Russ Meyer, Howard Hughes' "The Outlaw" and Frederick's of Hollywood, Dian guides you over, around, and in between the dangerous curves of infamous models including Michelle Angelo, Candy Barr, Virginia Bell, Joan Brinkman, Lorraine Burnett, Lisa De Leeuw, Uschi Digard, Candye Kane, Jennie Lee, Sylvia McFarland, Margaret Middleton, Paula Page, June Palmer, Roberta Pedon, Rosina Revelle, Candy Samples, Tempest Storm, Linda West, June Wilkinson, Julie Wills, and dozens more, including Guinness World Record holder Norma Stitz, possessor of the World's Largest Natural Breasts. The 396 pages of this book contain the most beautiful and provocative photos ever created of these iconic women, plus nine original interviews, including the first with Tempest Storm and Uschi Digard in over a decade, and the last with Candy Barr before her untimely death in 2005. In a world where silicone is now the norm, these spectacular real women stand as testament that nature knows best.

Absolutely Wow
This book is very well titled. Everything about it is big, including the physical size of the book itself. My husband furtively tried to sneak it in, but its not one you can slip past your wife unnoticed. It's a joy to look at though. Famous names from the past such as Paula Page and Linda West. (Which he says are the sort of woman you could happily marry, if he hadn't met me of course) A cavalcade of great beauties, (and gorgeous women) on every turn of the page that will take your breath away. It puts me in mind of the erotic magazines my dad used to hide in his shed, many years ago, that were filled with just pictures of beautiful goddesses. It would be wonderful to see those stars as they are now.

The book goes through the decades and all the models are a joy to look at. None of your scrawny cat walk size 0s here, just full figured natural womanhood. Also included are the very well endowed Chesty Morgan and the ultimate of ultimates, Norma Stitz. If you like your women well developed then this is the book for you. I would highly recommend it, give hubby a treat. Also in a similar vein, if you like erotic stories about mature well proportioned women (and indeed men) then have a look at 100 PERCENT EROTICA by Suzie Van Aartman.

Fantastic Book
If you are interested in a photographic celebration of the biggest and best big breast glamour models from mainly the 1950s to the 1970s this is a gift. Printed and presented to the very high standard we have come to expect from Taschen this is a marvellous book.The weight and volume of this book is entirely appropriate to the size of the ladies within. The book catalogues the golden era of glamour and erotic photography from this period. Many of the photographs are absolute classics of their time. FANTASTIC!

What a wonderful book, as the other reviews say, big breasts, big breasts, big breasts, hot women, sitting there looking at the pictures for a while, and imagining some of them are your mothers friends come round to stay. The only thing is, it's a pity that the pictures couldn't have been all in colour.
