Reviews Review created: 02/09/08 by: rickdaniels52 ( 8 ) This is another translation of the original sanskrit. It is a well-known book of sexual techniques and etiquette. However the illustrations are added (not part of the original) and do not coordinate well with the text. Review ID: 10000000005552953 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
