5 Stars Shibari I use
As a bondage enthusiast and instructor, I have a significant selections of books in my library. This one however was a recent addition when I happened to meet Lee at a workshop. At the time I purchased the book to help support a starving artist/author passing through town, and it went strait to the bookshelf when I got home.
I was having a rope enthusiast meeting at my place and honestly had no idea what I wanted to select as a theme. Lee’s book provided the inspiration, the bondage in that book was simple but clever, and allowed me to settle on Corsetry as my theme.
I’ve since run through the book more thuroughly and have really enjoyed the idea’s it’s given me for variations on the bondage I’ve been practicing for 10 years.
The book may have it’s editing errors here and there, but for practical and useful bondage it’s a lovely book and I’m glad I own it.
5 Stars Execellent to read and use
