This fantastic collection of never-before-seen Bettie Page prints wow and impresses from cover to cover. The queen of pin up models, Bettie Page, captured by the queen of pin up photographers, Bunny Yeager, makes this one of the most collectible and enjoyable collection of 20th century pin up art. Bettie Page, famous for her uninhibited and fearless posing style encapsulates female sensuality and boldness in this collection. This is a terrific book of erotic photography, complete with suggestive and provocative clothing as well as nudes.
I highly recommend this collection to anyone who enjoys pin up art and erotic photography; most definitely to the Bettie Page and Bunny Yeager fans. Bunny Yeager really popularized photographed pin ups after artists like Gil Elvgren paved the way with pin ups on canvases; Bettie Page remains an icon of pin ups to this day. I plan on using this as a coffee table book in my man cave, and I'm sure this could find a happy home on your bookshelf as well!

Amazingly enough, Bunny Yeager had just seen and marked up the final proofs before she passed.
This is the most comprehensive collection of pin-up turned lens chick Bunny Yeager's Bettie Page images to date, and the only hardcover ever. Bunny and her studio were discovering rare and never before scanned material up until the final weeks. The resolution of the images is spectacular, all images were scanned from slides not prints so the detail is incredible. And as for the reversed images, had the good fortune of knowing Ms. Yeager and viewing the material when the book was being prepared. The photos as presented in the book are from the original negatives and those photos are not reversed. Also, some one wants more Bettie Page, they should get a copy of Petra Mason's first book, Bunny Yeager's Dark Room which has a lot of other Bettie Page images. All in all, a brilliant and beautiful book. A lot of book, as well, for $50 with hundreds of images; a good number in color. This is the once and future Bettie Page book. The ultimate Bettie Page book; there is no other. Only sad neither Bunny or Bettie lived to see the finished work. Brava, Petra Mason.

Great book, many unpublished photos. Great reproduction and printing quality. It's strange though that there are only four photos (including the one on the cover) from the famous series with the cheetahs. Several of the best shots that you have seen elsewhere in inferior quality are missing. Also some images in the book have been reversed for no apparent reason. Still an essential book for all fans of Bettie Page.

Bettie Page is as essential to the identity of this country as baseball and apple pie. I am delighted to see her get her due in this fabulous book.
