The conceit of this volume is that a trove of photographs have been found with an accompanying text explaining the unknown author's fetish of asking female strangers to pose nude for him. The color photographs show a variety of attractive women in anonymous hotel-room settings of patterned wallpaper and cheap furniture in various stages of erotic undress. The subsequent editions don't even try to duplicate the exquisite, elegant and expensive details of this gorgeous book. Patterned-silver-paper-bound hardcover in matching dj with red, printed paper belly-band. 144 pages; 69 full-page, color plates; 9 x 10.75 inches.
