Well, for those of you reading this, don't get your hopes up that
any naughty bits will be portrayed in the book. Aside from photos of
the human form, unclothed (used as a guide to show various surface
forms and underlying structures), and a few shots of female breasts
(which I imagine some of the folks who draw impossibly huge-breasted
females oughta study. They're not made of helium, you know!),
there's very little in the way of portraying any sort of sexual
material. But the book _is_ an excellent guide for studying
musculature, skeletal form, and even such things as expressions.
Check it out if you're interested!
