I have your book NINE WOMEN REVEALED in my hands, and the first thing I have to say: it's worth every penny. The book is like a sociological study with a great sense of psychological reflections. The self-written chapters give an intimate look into the lives and behaviorial reasons of the people among us. The women making up the nine great writers range from jewelry designer to college student. Character-wise, we can see our own next-door neighbors. The writing is quite personal and revealing, kind of confession-like while not being "penthouse letters" style (although there is no taboo in the talks by these women). It's open talk about dreams and success, it's about the twists and turns of everyday lives - even about masturbation and sexual positions.
The nine women are all honest, straightforward and proudly display their lives and different personalities - all coming from totally different backgrounds and upbringings. The photography and the writings are at times voyeuristic, but in a very positive way because they balance each other out well and raise this book to its rightful place - to Fine Art.
I highly recommend the book: NINE WOMAN REVEALED to everybody, both women and men because we can learn a lot about others and therefore we can see and understand ourselves better. Congratulations Gary.
