My husband scavenged this amazing, 1974 copy, featuring a hand-drawn rose with bloody thorns. S-M is not my cup of tea, but this is quite an extensive collection of styles, philosophies and stories and I would imagine it's an important book for the library of any S-M "scholar." I also really appreciate that it was written by both a man and a woman, together, and both their voices and perspectives are heard quite clearly.
