Ed Fox II (REVERSIBLE COVER) (English, German and French Edition) Hardcover – January 5, 2016

Taschen is a quality publisher. Books from this German publisher always are published using high quality materials. From the boards, the binding, the dust jackets, paper stock, and ink... Taschen has always delivered an exceptional product.And Ed Fox II is no exception. The dust jacket is thick with two tones of gloss for subtle variations that reflect when tilted. The boards of the book also use two tones of gloss, appearing solid blue at one angle but revealing a large "Ed Fox II" when tilted against the light. The paper stock is thick with the crisp ink travelling all the way to the edge of the paper.However, the contents of this tome are really what sends it over the 5-star edge.To begin, Ed Fox offers a three page text introduction (in English, German, and French). The State of the Feet Report. Ed Fox II is unapologetic adult erotica. He explains his attraction to female feet, eyes, and beauty while describing his various career roles and experiences photographing the female model. This introduction offers interesting philosophical questions and is not simply an obligatory artist bio.TeNeues, another high quality publisher, has also published several collections of artistic nude photography. Russell James, The Morning After (English, German, French, Italian and Spanish Edition), and Rankin's Heidilicious to name but three. Ed Fox II could also be described as an artistic collection of nude photography. But when compared to the aforementioned, this collection has an edge, more attitude, and is unabashedly sexual.The most common theme in the photography is feet. Painted toes, tilted arches, and smooth soles spread flauntingly towards the camera... you'll get plenty. Most images focus on the foot, but include the rest of the model in the shot also - but not always. Most shots also include the feet of the model in the frame, but the occasional exception again exists. Regardless, Ed Fox knows what he's doing and here he's at the top of his game.Toys. Yes, that kind. These accessories are put to stimulating use throughout. Not much is left for the imagination either; these are no mere hints of sexuality, but rather a bold celebration of it! Nothing here is disrespectful to the model, however. These models always appear confident, sensual, feminine, and assertive.Ed Fox II is a daring adventurous collection of photography, glorifying the sexuality of the female - and specifically the beautiful female foot. This photographic essay can certainly be enjoyed by those that appreciate edgy artistic nudes. But if one is stimulated by the idea of a soft sole and yawning toes being pushed playfully close to the lens, then Ed Fox II may offer a tantalising glimpse into heaven itself.

First thing's first: know your material and google the photographer/author before buying one of their books. Ed is one of the absolute best at what he does - and I love his work. He takes pictures of all shapes and sizes, softcore and hardcore, and he has a particular love for women's feet. If that's not your thing, you probably won't like much of his work. The book itself is a large size, paper is thick and finished well. If you liked his first book: "Beauty from the Ground Up", you'll love this one - and for the price, you can't beat it.

For a foot connoisseur this is a must have book (as is Volume One) in your collection. Mr. Fox showcases his taste for pretty feet and his talent for documenting them. Yes there are other "bits" present in some photos, but there's no mistake what the subject is. Looking forward to Volume Three Mr. Fox...

Ed Fox has taken over where the late great Elmer Batters left off and Ed has raised the bar. His book features gorgeous models, fabulous definition and details within the shots that true foot lovers and leg lovers will thoroughly enjoy. This book should be part of anyone's collection of erotic photography.

Some very foxy women and i liked most of the DVD but some are WTF kind of things.

An excellent compendium of the things that Ed Fox likes to photograph about women, it's his world and here he shares it with you in shiny brilliant images both sexy, raw, and alluring, as well as technically proficient.

I purchased this book because of the cover shot and like most books and Video/DVDs the cover is what sells you on the product. This book cover is one of the best shots in the whole book, which has an abundance of photos. One of the problems is most of the models are not what I'd call really attractive. Most of the shots are done well (content and context) and the technical skill is there but the subjects aren't up to my expectations. The second thing about this and most erotic photo books by caucasian photographers is that it lacks any veriety or contrast. I appreciate the beauty of ALL women including white women, but there is almost always a lack of other ethnic subjects, a little color. All vanilla with no other flavors gets boring quick. It wouldn't hurt to have a little asian, black, hispanic flavor between these pages. Is the photographer like most white photographers appreciation for beauty only limited to white women? A more complete spectrum of color is very greatly desired by myself and many men across the country, if not the world. Come on, can't we expand our vision and present a more open view of female beauty?

Very high quality ever.Amazing photographs and an excellent DVD movie included.It's really better than I thought.I'd like the first edition, but this is really perfect!Lots of beautiful! Lots of fun!
