A hands on book
This is a great, tastefull and good picture book.
Most books descibe how do, well this book does both, without it turning to pornography, here the pictures are stylish and tastefull and you get a good descpition at how to do it.
So if you want to spice up your sexlife, this is a good gift to your self or your partner. I don't think I would recomend this to newcomers.
This book offers 101 love making positions, each with a picture and a description, and the back pages even have a cross off section, so you can mark each position you've experienced.
So to put it bluntly, this is a great book.

Avoid! Cold, desireless images, neither entertainment, nor educational
I bought this book on account of its relatively good reviews and the cover picture that showed warm, glowing tones and a somewhat tender embrace. Now, it doesn't bother me if the content wasn't vanilla, but what does bother me is what I perceive as hypocrisy, and what I feel is ineptitude.

In stark contrast to the tones of the cover picture, inside the images are taken against a depressively monochrome grey background. For most pages, add to this the kind of cold, white light that would make any dressing room seem positively glowing, and you have a big problem right there. If you weren't into visual stimulation, then you would not opt for a picture book, and obviously one person's "classic and stylish" is another one's "cold and clinical".
Some pictures fare slightly better with the light, but then there is problem 2:
The book features three models. And if I am not *extremely* mistaken, two of them are wearing wigs.
- Now, don't get me wrong, I think inclusion, especially in visual arts, and therein especially in erotic arts, is to be applauded, but these models do not look like they are wearing wigs for medical reasons - and if so, what is the likelihood of a book featuring two out of three models that are unconventional and *not* claiming this as an extra moral selling point? Not likely in our day and age.
No, to me it appears that these are the kind of "disguise" wigs that some adult entertainers will use to hide their identities. And what sort of message does that present? I don't want to be viewing images that emanate discomfort or shame on the models' part, I don't feel comfortable relaxing and enjoying entertainment that the entertainer obviously didn't stand by, perhaps didn't even enjoy enough to actually stand by. What is empowered about that?

Avoid, avoid like plague. The quest for beautiful, tasteful lesbian imagery goes on.
Of course it would also have been great if the book could have shown other ethnic and gender types then white femme, but after all this, that seems perhaps simply too much to ask...

Good photography
Good photographs, but minimal text. Some of the positions are very similar. There are only so many ways you can put two naked women together. A few of the positions use a strap-on, and one has a threesome. If you have a dirty mind as I have, then you may find there is little in here that you have not already thought of yourself for free. Note that although the book is hardback, it is the size of a paperback.
