Helmut Newton: White Women Details
From the Inside Flap White Women was and still is the legendary first book by Helmut Newton, published in 1976. His inimitable blend of aestheticism, technical perfection and luxurious upper-middle-class decadence is today just as appealing and controversial as it was thirty-three years ago. White Women is a delicacy in visual erotic literature that connoisseurs and people in the know still consider to be Newton's best book ever.

Reviews
When I ordered this book I had a feeling that it would be good, but I didn't know it would be REALLY GOOD. Sharp pictures that are composed very well with gorgeous models. This book was published in the seventies, but has a very current feeling to it . A must for anyone that collects erotic photo essays.
