Rope, Bondage, and Power... by...

It doesn't have any illustrations, photos or particular ties, it's all text and all gold, I would say it teaches 'how to' develop technique and awareness instead of showing directions in wrapping rope around someone like all my other rope bondage books do.

(can't sleep so I think it's time to go bake a cake)

Esinem's soon to release his first DVD, I can already tell it's going to be better then most of whats currently about. "It's pointless to be hesitant when you're absorbed in play. It's like throwing cold water on ecstasy once it's finally caught flame." (from Tsujimura Takashi's Camera Hunt)
29 Oct 10, 8:16 PM RichardRope UK(BS), 12 yrs	I bought Doug Kent's books 1 (land) & 2 (sky) recently (as in Jahc99's memo) - I think they're generally excellent, but a bit of a curate's egg: great in parts, but some real howlers in other places. Why, for example, does he really love his starting "limb loop"? It simply slips through, becomes uneven and can tighten down on the poor subbies limbs. (Maybe that's the point? ) A dreadful basic starting-point, and not easy to adjust. So don't take his advice as gospel, but the books are really good for inspiration, and have some nice illustrations and instructions. I for one am looking forward to book 3!
