The Big Book of Pussy - Reviews (3)
| “It's a pink and meaty volume of almost 400 pages devoted to the finer points of this unnecessarily mystifying aspect of the feminine, heavy enough to send gangsters to the bottom of the sea were it chained to their nethers…Sprinkled in amongst the 111 years of images of women nude as the news, and just as pleasantly delivered, are interviews with those special women whose pussies are somewhat more notorious than average… Sensationalism and the specter of leering journalism aside, it's an exceptionally well-written and insightful book, shot through with Hanson's decades of experience with the public image of the pussy. Simultaneously wise and mischievous, she's a cultural touchstone when it comes to the presentation of body image, a time capsule of how we lately perceive this aspect of the female body.”— LA Weekly, Los Angeles, United States |
| “Somos unos grandes forofos de esta serie. Primero fue The Big Book of Breasts, después The Big Penis Book, The Big Book of Legs y el voluminoso Big Butt Book. ¿Qué podía venir a continuación sino una exploración en profundidad de la parte pudenda femenina, ese codiciado orificio del que el hombre se pasa nueve meses tratando de salir y toda una vida intentando volver a entrar? The Big Book of Pussy cierra la exitosa serie con una propuesta tan controvertida como popular.”— Good2be, Barcelona, Spain |
| "Similarly, what stands out from The Big Book of Pussy’s '1980-1989' section is how utterly hygienic everything looks. That’s not a complaint: What good is the sexual imagination without variety? But it’s also paradoxical, because these pussies — a good many of them bare — are groomed, immaculately, and in a few cases specially lit, in a way the overhead sunlight in many of the book’s earlier images, in which some of the V-bends and the like are exuberant, yes, but awkward too. When it isn’t, though, wow. In addition to Del Rio, Hanson also talks to Buck Angel, 'The Man with a Pussy', and a 'vaginal performance artist' from England named Mouse, among others. She gets serious props for quoting the lyrics of 'I Eat the Pussy' by New Boyz, one of the biggest groups in the 'jerkin’ rap' category, at the top of the '2000-2011' section. Jerkin’, by the way, is named for a dance style, not masturbation, though it might be, considering that it’s the most cunnilingually-minded music of the last few years. Too bad she didn’t go for Clothes Off Movement’s 'Better Than You', which basically sums up the whole book: 'Hey, daddy, the pussy’s magic / Got you tongue-tied like Roger Rabbit.'"— Los Angeles Review of Books, Los Angeles, United States |

| "The Big Book (of Pussy) follows a 'big' list of TASCHEN titles exploring all parts human, including their best selling, The Big Penis Book , The Big Book of Legs , The Big Butt Book , and The Big Book of Breasts books …The Big Book of Pussy is laced with more than 400+ photographs exploring and exposing the female vulva with photographs dating back to the 1900’s and beyond. TASCHEN makes a strong point of noting that all models showing their private parts do so 'enthusiastically, happily'. Pussy done the TASCHEN way. Nice one."— Selectism.com, Berlin, Germany |
