Liberatore's Women
                                             (1997 - Kitchen Sink Press)  

     Not appropriate for children or adolescents.  79 art pages in this 90-odd page book.  Nine of those are pages with multiple images, but the rest are single large reproductions, split between drawings and paintings.  There is a dramatic sensibility here that makes these art pieces hard to classify as pin-up and indeed it seems there is sometimes the intention to artistically shock the viewer.  Many of paintings are presented in a full-bleed fashion which, along with other creative framing, makes the book a handsome volume.  There is text throughout, being excerpts from Bebo Moroni's novel, KINGDOM OF THE FLESH.  A great deal of nudity, but more than just body studies, adult themes are graphically embraced in some of the images, so I suggest keeping it put away from children.
