extremely useful
If you are looking for a fun, informative "how to" book on the wonderful world of sadomasochism and D/s, then this is one book that begs to be read. Screw The Roses and Send Me the Thorns has a wealth of information at your fingertips for novices and the experienced.
A brilliantly written,inspiring, fun look into BDSM. A must have for the kinkster's bookshelf.
It would be nice to have this book as a hardcover considering its size.

I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the BDSM scene/lifestyle. Beginners or veterans of the scene can appreciate the well written humor laden book.
Philip Miller and Molly Devon have had a GREAT run with this book, with their 24th printing last year (2008). If you are looking to explore this lifestyle I suggest you pick up this book! Please if your curious, find a copy of this book!
Well written.
Humor filled.
Co-written by a Dom Male/sub fem.
A bit dated.

This book is absolutely a must-have for those interested in or just getting started in S/M. You simply will not be able to put it down once you open it up! I have to say I was rather disappointed that they described Master/slave relationships as dangerous and pretty much unattainable, comparing it to mainly fantasy fiction.
Really helpful for starters, great layout, easy to follow, timeless.
It is kinda outdated, especially on the internet, sites and safety issues.

This is an awesome book about a Dominance and submission lifestyle that also includes BDSM. If you want a how-to on BDSM, this is not you're book, but if you're looking for information on mixing D/s and BDSM, then this book is for you!
Detailed, easy to understand, likable authors.
Very little how-to.

This book is an amazing thorough text, that is certain to have something to interest the beginner and those a bit more seasoned.
Wide-reaching and varied topics with concise safe discussions on each topic.
Written in 1995, could be updated with a more through section on Internet dating safety.

A good beginner's guide to S&M relationships and tools of pain and pleasure to be enjoyed by all parties involved.
Great terminology and definitions on BDSM tools and practices.
Some of the pictures are fairly outdated.
