I got this book soon after it came out. It was given to me as a gift by a friend who knew I loved SuicideGirls at the time. I would say this book is pretty tasteful; there are a lot of very beautiful photos. Personally, I don't consider this to be pornography. I don't think nudity and pornography are necessarily the same thing. If you are looking for anything involving penetration or photos of an "explicit" nature, then you probably won't be into this. However, there are some girl-on-girl photos in here but they are very tame. If you want to see some pretty girls and admire some nice tattoo work then this is a nice book to have. Most (though not all) of the models are pierced and tattooed. They are "alternative" models; I find that to be such a strange term though. If you are looking for photos of stereotypical "alternative" girls, then this is a good book.

I don't have the book with me right now, but off the top of my head I don't remember seeing a lot of racial diversity among the photos in this book. I remember one black model; for the most part they seemed Caucasian. Also, I like that the photos are not all nudes; there are some very cute non-nudes in this book as well. The body types of the models aren't super diverse; there were a few thicker models, but they were mostly fairly skinny.

At the time I got this book I think it cost a lot more, but it's only $22.39 on Eden right now. I would say it's pretty reasonably priced. There are some model bios in the back of the book, not very lengthy, but interesting to read. I would consider this book to be an interesting coffee table book.

It's a nice, tasteful book. Not sleazy, which I like. Still, I think it's sort of an acquired taste; if you don't want to see nude tattooed and pierced girls, don't bother with this book.
