"Anyway, I'm reviewing the book for the art, not the girls."

I don't think that's true at all. By reviewing this book, you are promoting it and it's sales. That means you're supporting the message of those producing the book/magazine. The message is pedophilia. That's disgusting. I don't see how you can flippantly ignore this, especially after your friends voiced concerns.

I love this blog and it helps me find new art books to buy. However, this one makes my skin crawl. The art in this book might be mostly benign illustration in comparison to the content of the magazine, but it means money to an artist who supports a pedophilia magazine. WHO on your blog list would be interested in that??

I wouldn't read a blog that "highly recommended" something that makes me want to hurl. I didn't expect to find that on this blog, and I'm a really open-minded person. I showed this entry to other friends and they were just as horrified so it's not just me OR your friends. Please reconsider this promotion or any promotion of art books like it.
