| | 4. |  | Pink Box: Inside Japan's Sex Clubs
from Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
Price: $18.69
Customer Review:
The pink box is very empty of its promises. For one the pictures are like PG. For a book about pornography or the hustle and bustle of a red light district, it does not seem to me that Joan Sinclair captured much of Japanese Night Life at all. Her access is limited, that can be seen by the lack of... more info

| | 5. |  | Everest

A very colorful look at Mt. Everest from the Imax Everest expedition. Much better than the Imax movie itself, compelling images interspersed with informative commentary and history from a number of writers.

Customer Review:
I do not understand this book, its not for me, my gender or my age (grins.) But my girls love it. They requested it for their birthdays and its fairly tame and harmless. They pour over the pages and ohh and aww and squeal over the outlandish outfits. And hey exposure to other cultures is always a... more info
