Royal Academy London, 1980 This is the catalogue issued for the first major exhibition by this great American painter in Europe. Marina Vaizey writes a good introduction. Being pre-digital, most reproductions are in black and white, but how great to see masterpieces, such as River Cove, or Her Room for the first time? That Wyeth is not appreciated as a master painter is our fault not his. Years from now there will be an adequate reassessment; there always is. Look at Vermeer. This is a clean and tight unread looking catalogue. No marks, annotations, or owner names. Language: eng. Soft cover. Fine.

Reaktion Books, 2012 People call it everything from "walking your dog" to "scratching your bean." Women usually do it at home. Men, it sometimes seems, do it everywhere. Some people think it's healthy; others think it is a sin that will send you straight to hell. But while many people declare that everyone's doing it, no one actually talks about it outside the pages of Cosmo, masturbation is among the most taboo of topics, not suitable for polite society or public conversation. Mels van Driel boldly breaks this silence in order to help the world overcome its diffidence toward solo sex in With the Hand. Consulting everyone from doctors and sexologists to feminists and chauvinists, van Driel explains what masturbation actually is and describes the latest discoveries and developments on the subject.
