Erotismo: Antología Universal de Arte y Literatura Eróticos, Charlotte Hill and William Wallace

Publication: Barcelona, Evergreen, 1999.

Formatting: 4to, pp. 477, [3].

Condition Report: Near Fine. This copy remains remarkably bright and unread, maintaining a tight, square binding with no leaning. The dust jacket is exceptionally crisp, displaying only the faintest suggestion of rubbing to the extreme corners, but devoid of any chipping, tears, or creasing. The boards are unbowed and pristine. Internally, the text block is immaculate and entirely free from foxing, moisture damage, or significant handling marks, ensuring the extensive catalogue of illustrations remains bright and undisturbed. A superbly preserved example.

Catalogue Note: This Spanish-language edition, heavily illustrated with over 450 plates ranging from classical Hindu reliefs to the modernist works of Klimt, Schiele, and Picasso, stands as a comprehensive global survey of erotic art and literature.

Though the volume lacks explicit standard edition markers on the preliminary leaves, it bears the hallmarks of a standard trade edition issued under Taschen's Evergreen imprint. The volume is internally clean and free of formal ownership inscriptions, bookplates, or stamps.

Given the widespread global distribution of Taschen's art anthologies, this text is relatively common on the broader secondary market; however, securing copies in such an unblemished, near-pristine state is becoming increasingly uncommon, particularly within the UK market.

An expansive and visually striking anthology, Erotismo charts the evolution of erotic art and literature across two millennia. Curated by Charlotte Hill and William Wallace, the volume weaves together timeless texts, from the Kama Sutra and Boccaccio to Casanova and Anaïs Nin, with hundreds of lavish illustrations encompassing Japanese woodblocks, Renaissance masterpieces, and surrealist works. It serves as both a provocative cultural history and a lush visual archive of human desire.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
