LLEN von Unwerth is known for her sexy and intimate fashion photography, bringing us both candid and studio shots. This time, Ellen finds herself in the shoes of the voyeur, photographing behind the scenes of the fashion world (and elsewhere) with this book, mixing fashion, sex and glamour. Though the page size is small, there's plenty (300 pp., 240 photos) inside. The subject is obvious from the title, and has everything from Liv Tyler kissing a stuffed animal to sexier shots of couples. As with all Ellen's work, there is a natural, uninhibited atmosphere about the photographs and the images are highly original. Wonderful, particularly for Ellen von Unwerth fans: fun, cheeky, erotic, romantic, splashy, loud and dramaticwhat Ellen calls a 'fast' book.

LREADY on the Los Angeles Times' bestseller list, Lloyd Boston's Men of Color pays tribute to the style of African Americans, using historical information from the 1800s through to celebrity portraits of this century. Lavishly illustrated with over 300 photos collected by Boston, the book validates what has always been a strong and vital part of American style, but until now, has been largely ignored in the realm of coffee-table books.

ÖNEMANN is well known for producing quality books at exceptional value, and continues this tradition with Jonvelle. Jean-François Jonvelle captures feminine beauty with a series of black and white photographs, some of which are filled with sensuality. The text is in English and Germanalthough there's little of it: this is a photo book, plainly and simply. There are no captions, and the photographs dominate the pages.
