Around 225 pages, hardcover with photo pastedown, 10" by 7.5". First edition. Killer book of male nude photography, a modern classic, a paean to joyful, carefee sexuality. Exquisitely printed with nearly 200 simply gorgeous images. My highest recommendation. This rare first edition, first printing contains photos which were excluded from later editions, notably the nudes of actor Josh Duhamel. In excellent condition save for some rubbing to the lettering on the cover.

The cumulative effect of As I See It creates a pleasurable zone of contemplation, allowing one to reexamine the precepts of beauty within a refreshing framework of exalted maleness. According to Gorman, “As I see it, they’re not really boys, yet they’re not really men. They are caught somewhere in between—almost at that point of maturity that defines masculinity.”
“The display of the male body has been fraught with significance for centuries....Gorman portrays the male body without stripping it bare of power or poignance. It’s a new approach to an old, old idea.”
