Topless Summer Love Girls is a zany, pop culture commentary on growing up male in the era of Playboy, feminism, and swimsuit editions. Arming men with new insights into themselves and the eternal battle between the sexes, this hilarious and sexy book -- filled with hundreds of titillating photos of topless women -- is a passionate and unapologetic examination of men, women, and breasts. Topless Summer Love Girls is a crazy compendium of dirty pictures, bad cartoons, fake news clippings, spurious essays, pseudo-scientific studies, and weird theories about women and breasts. It's also got great art by some of the best illustrators and cartoonists of yesterday and today, like Charles Dana Gibson, H. T. Webster, Chas. Addams, Al Capp, Will Eisner, Mitch O' Connell, Bill Presing, Shane Glines, Ragnar, Alex Nino, Milton Knight, Victor Juhasz, and Rian Hughes. Topless Summer Love Girls is a serious mix of satire, outrageous assertions, outright lies and intelligent, sensitive, searching observations on men, women, and breasts. It's a men's empowerment book for men who would never ever pick up a men's empowerment book -- and who are not afraid to laugh at themselves. Topless Summer Love Girls contains not only page after page of sumptuous color photos of topless girls sunning themselves on the beaches of Bali, Ibiza and the South of France, but it's got excellent advice for men on dating and making the best choice in women, sexual relationships with women and women's wiles, warnings about marriage, fatherhood, and divorce; and what every man should know about feminism. In short, it's got everything a modern guy needs to survive love in the 21st Century.
