First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. The classic Madonna SEX Book. This is the scarce JAPANESE edition, with remarkably clearer images than the American edition (see below for details). Bilingual text in English & Japanese. Photographed by Steven Meisel. Art directed by Fabien Baron. Edited by Glenn O'Brien. Produced by Callaway. Published by Dohosha, Tokyo. There were American, French & Japanese editions, all published in 1992. Numerous colour and b&w photographs throughout. Contains nudity. As well as Madonna, the book features Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Vanilla Ice, and several others. Includes bound-in COMIC BOOK at rear, as issued. The 8-page erotic comic book is titled Dita in The Chelsea Girl. NO CD. This copy lacks the CD. Also lacks the silver mylar bag. Though almost identical (with the same pagination & exact same layout), the differences between the more-common US edition & this scarce Japanese edition are as follows: FIRST & FOREMOST the Japanese edition is printed on fine GLOSSY paper, rendering a LOT more depth of CLARITY (the US edition is printed on flat paper, & comparing the two side-by-side - as we have copies of both - the Japanese edition is strikingly CLEARER throughout); the Japanese edition has 4 pages with intimate genitalia blackened out in the printing process (of MEN's genitals only); the Japanese edition contains BOTH Japanese & English text (6 internal pages with Japanese superimposed over the English text, so both are readable, plus the comic book, introductory text, & acknowledgements at rear are all in Japanese only); the Japanese edition contains an extra 8 pages at rear (with the translations from English to Japanese of all the additional text pages within the book that aren't actually translated on the particular superimposed page, with small thumbnail images of each of the pages); & finally the Japanese edition has no serial number stamped to rear cover. Printed in Japan. Spiral-bound in original silver steel covers with minimal stamped design (merely the word "Sex" to front cover & die-cut symbol to rear). A very nice clean tight solid steel-bound copy. Unpaginated (132pp + 8pp comic book). The uncommon Japanese edition. Large heavy volume, extra shipping may be required. RARE.

First Edition
4°. 61 Bl. mit teils farb. Abb. von Steven Meisel und beiliegender CD ("Erotica"). Aluminiumdeckel mit Ringheftung und figürlicher Ausstanzung in illustr. Aluminiumfolien-Umschlag und illustr. Orig.-Versandkarton. Bertolotti 264. - Seltene japanische Ausgabe der skandalträchtigen Veröffentlichung der "Queen of Pop" mit ganzseitigen photograph. Abbildungen und der fast immer fehlenden originalverpackten CD sowie der Orig.-Verpackung und dem Versandkarton. Die japanische Ausgabe enthält 4 Seiten, auf denen die Genitalien im Druckverfahren geschwärzt wurden (nur die Genitalien von Männern). Die japanische Ausgabe enthält sowohl japanischen als auch englischen Text (6 Innenseiten, auf denen der japanische Text über den englischen Text gelegt ist, sodass beide lesbar sind, sowie den Comic, den Einführungstext und die Danksagungen am Ende, die alle nur auf Japanisch sind). Außerdem am Ende 8 zusätzliche Seiten (mit den Übersetzungen aus dem Englischen ins Japanische aller zusätzlichen Textseiten innerhalb des Buches, die nicht auf der jeweiligen überlagerten Seite übersetzt sind, mit kleinen Miniaturbildern jeder der Seiten); und schließlich hat die japanische Ausgabe keine Seriennummer auf der Rückseite. - Neuwertiges Exemplar. - "The book consists of of a series of perverse, erotic "narratives" saucily acted out by the singer herself, along with well--known figures from the world of show business, such as the model Naomi Campbell, the actress Isabella Rossellini, rappers Big Daddy Kane and Vanilla Ice, porn star Joey Stefano and Princess Tatiana von Fürstenberg" (A. Bertolotti). - Das hier beil. Album Erotica gilt als das kontroverseste Pop-Album der 1990er-Jahre. - Beiliegt: Orig.-Konzert-Photographie der Künstlerin von (Guido) Fua. Sehr gute Nahaufnahme Madonnas im legendären Outfit von J.-P. Gaultier bei ihrem Auftritt während der "Girlie Show World Tour" am 15. Okt. 1993 in Rom. Silbergelatine-Abzug, 30 x 40 cm., rückseitig mit dem Stempel einer ital. Foto-Agentur. - Madonna ist die kommerziell erfolgreichste Sängerin der Welt und mit einem geschätzten Vermögen von über 1 Milliarde US-Dollar die reichste Person im Musikgeschäft. In der Geschichte der amerikanischen Billboard-Charts ist sie der erfolgreichste Solo-Künstler aller Zeiten und rangiert hinter den Beatles auf Platz 2 und wurde damit ihrem Ruf als globale Pop-Ikone gerecht. Auf ihrer umstrittenen "Girlie Show World Tour" präsentierte sie ihr Album "Erotica" und setzte dabei Elemente aus der berühmten "Chippendales"-Show ein. Sie ist damit die erste Künstlerin überhaupt, die öffentlich die sexuelle Selbstbestimmung der Frau propagiert. Rare Japanese edition of the scandalous publication by the "Queen of Pop" with full-page photographs, the original CD (which is almost always missing), the original packaging, and the shipping box. The Japanese edition contains four pages on which the genitals have been blacked out during printing (only the male genitals). The Japanese edition contains both Japanese and English text (6 inside pages on which the Japanese text is superimposed on the English text so that both are legible, as well as the comic, the introductory text, and the acknowledgments at the end, which are all in Japanese only). There are also 8 additional pages at the end (with translations from English to Japanese of all additional text pages within the book that are not translated on the respective overlay page, with small thumbnails of each of the pages); and finally, the Japanese edition does not have a serial number on the back cover. - Like-new copy. - Added: Original concert photograph of the artist by (Guido) Fua. Excellent close-up of Madonna in her legendary outfit by J.-P. Gaultier during her performance on the "Girlie Show World Tour" on October 15, 1993, in Rome. Silver gelatin print, 30 x 40 cm, stamped on the back by an Italian photo agency. Sprache: japanisch.
