Comments

TSOD: This is way more book than I was expecting. It takes you on a journey of the entire T of F experience with great captions and images I’d never seen anywhere else. Elegant and sexy.

JEROME PATALANO: Rédigé en plusieurs langues, ce beau-livre hyper massif (4 kg tout de même !) est d'une qualité à couper le souffle. Les reproductions sont incroyables et les textes qui les accompagnent sont super intéressants. Un must de la culture queer à posséder ! Tom of Finland a façonné l'imagerie gay depuis les années 40... et ces fantasmes/désirs/représentations influencent encore notre commu de nos jours.
A ce prix-là, foncez.

Joshua Peterson: Totally worth it if your into Tom of Finland and even art in general. It is still really erotic images which brought me into the universe of, but this book really showed me that he was an actual artist not some pervy sketchist like i was when i was young. Im a cheap ass, so i was a little on the fence when it came, but after looking at the images alone I am glad I bought it. It means a lot to me as a gay man - TOF. Also its a great decor piece (a huge black book) without the cover on it.
Also lastly, I saw some reviews that stated the book they recieved was not new, so i was worried about that, but mine came brand new (I could tell from the awesome new book smell). Alright ive got to stop procrastinating.
If your a gay guy, and you can afford it, this book will probably be worth it to you.

Herrin: Pluspunkte:
+ Stolze 3,7 kg schwer, fast DIN A3 Größe und 666 Seiten
+ Das Text zu Bild Verhältnis fällt eindeutig zugunsten der Bilder aus.
+ Mir gefällt sehr gut wie kurz die jeweiligen Themen geschrieben sind. Oftmals nur 2-3 Seiten lang (in Englisch, Deutsch und Französisch).
+ Die Bilder sind eindeutig für den Druck digital aufbereitet worden. Das ist ein großer Pluspunkt in Sachen Qualität! Die Sichtbarkeit einzelner feiner Graphitstriche ist wirklich sehr schön.
+ Ich finde es sehr gelungen wie Toms Faszination für das deutsche Militär aufgeklärt wird.
+ Das Buch ist nebenbei auch ein wundervolles Dekorationsobjekt.

Minuspunkte (auch wenn ich keine Sterne dafür abgezogen habe):
- Ich hätte mir statt dem empfindlichen Einband ein schönes Hardcover mit Relief gewünscht.
- BDSM-Szenen waren sicher nicht der größte Teil von Toms Arbeit, aber etwas mehr Erläuterung hätte ich mir hierzu gewünscht.
- Wer des Englischen mächtig ist sollte am besten auch den englischen Text lesen. Die deutsche Übersetzung ist keinesfalls schlecht, aber zu nüchtern.

Amazon Customer: Beautiful book. My copy was shipped with no protection in the box and the bottom right corner of book was dented in. Kinda irritating since book was so expensive.

Theo de Klerk: Fraai vormgegeven en vooral zwaar groot formaat boek. Qua teksten stelt het niet veel voor - maar het gaat natuurlijk om de afbeeldingen. Die zijn op mat papier prima afgedrukt op het grote formaat.
Probleem met dit boek is dat veel foto's ook in kleinere collectie-uitgaven terug te vinden zijn. Aanschaf van dit boek maakt de meeste andere overbodig.
De biografie van Tom in "the official life and work of a gay hero" bevat aanzienlijk meer en betere informatie maar veel van de illustraties staan ook weer in XXL. Het zou helpen als alle figuren een officieel nummer zouden hebben (de biografie geeft een Tom of Finland Foundation ToFF nummer aan elke plaat) zodat ze sneller als "weer meer van hetzelfde" worden herkend.
Prima fotoboek dus - dan kun je de rest weggeven.

RyanRyan: I have been wanting this since first discovering Tom of Finland 5 years ago. The book was used and was about $80 at a book store in Portland.

I opted to get the smaller series (new) and have just been in love. Finally saw that Amazon carried it at a reasonable price and I could not be happier to own a piece of art and history.

The book like most others are in different languages including English. Some photos are the same from other books, but still good.
