How can we pack so much big booty into such a tiny and inexpensive
package? Sorry, but it's a trade secret we can't divulge, except to
say that shoehorns and spandex were involved. The original Big Butt
Book featured a great cross section of delectable rears from the
1950s to the present day. Here, since life is such an ironic deal,
we decided to pare the original content down to just the biggest
and the best, in-your-face phatties to which the great Sir
Mix-a-Lot alluded when penning, "My anaconda don't want none,
unless you've got buns, hun." Then we added in about 30 new photos,
just to be generous. Now in these 150 plus photos you'll see the
big and the bountiful, then the bigger and more bountiful, in black
and white and in color. The models may be largely anonymous, but
their curves are legendary, and now that they're collected in a
discrete little package affordable by all in these financially
trying times, why hold back? Your badonkadonk is calling.

his or her own words.There are tales of chance encounters,
snapshots in time where the moment just had to be seized, and of

opportunity to capture the perfect picture, which all too often
turns out to be the final frame of the day. The book also features
a special section on technical information, detailing the equipment
and techniques used by the photographers, adding a practical
resource to this outstanding collection of images of the British

"Sirs" begins the missive from our imaginary correspondent. "It's
not that I don't love your original Big Penis Book, but that,
perhaps, I love it too much. I now become anxious leaving the house
without it, and long business trips are simply torture. Couldn't
you make a smaller, less obtrusive edition, still packed with men
whose generative members measure over 8 inches, that doesn't form a
suspiciously large bulge in my carry-on luggage? And while you're
at it, could you make it highly affordable, since my pockets are as
shallow as this premise?" Done! The Little Big Penis Book features
over 150 massively endowed models from the 1940s through the '90s,
including photos by Bob Mizer of AMG, David Hurles of Old Reliable,
Rip Colt of Colt Studio, Craig Calvin Anderson of Sierra Domino,
Hal Roth of Filmco, Jim Jaeger of Third World Studios, Falcon
Studios, Mike Arlen, Fred Bisonnes, Carlos Quiroz, and Charles
Hovland in a compact and inexpensive format. Photos come not just
from the original overstuffed 384-page edition, but from subsequent
Big Penis Calendars, meaning that 30% of the content is unique to
this edition. Add a reduced text to make more room for the stunning
black-and-white and color photos and how could anyone-big, small,
or just right-ask for a better deal?

Lockdown, With Cats is a book of artwork created by Yeju Kwon with
the hope of comforting contemporary people who deal with stress and
anxiety. The theme of this book is centred around living in
lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic and it aims to depict the
