More than just a picture book
Oxford University Press has announced a new translation of the Kamasutra. Apparently the authors have combined their talents to rend a completely new translation of the Sanskrit text and they have found, unsurprisingly, that Sir Richard Burton's translation published in Victorian England was subjected to quite a bit of editorial censure and ignorance. It will be released in the UK this month and the US in June so I'm sure all the men in the UK will be running off to the nearest Waterstone's for a copy :)
