it's not as accessible as the topping book or the bottoming book, but it has a LOT more information in it. It even includes some basic rope bondage... although I had a hard time following the drawings.

and there's funny quotes in the margins to make the reading go faster :)

they're so funny, I ended up reading them out loud to all my kinky friends in my dorm.

I also highly appreciated the first few chapters about coming to grips with sadism. Its something that has come up a lot in my little group of friends, and I appreciated having a resource other than wikipedia (Posted on 1/6/11)
