The rest of the book has a bit of a tough time deciding whether or not to be about glamour photography, a very commercial form, or nudes, a very noncommercial form. This can be very useful if you've been hired to make someone look good but isn't very on point if you are trying to create abstract art. Two pages devoted to makeup aren't worth much if you've decided to suppress the face and focus on the body as structure. As far as I'm concerned, the meat of the book is about 60 pages of instructions and ideas for nude and glamour photography in a variety of setting. Advice is sensible, e.g., beginners should use daylight, with reflectors, and fast film rather than struggling with artificial light.
Examples range from illustrative to inspiring.
