Small size book, (not much bigger than a cd) would have preferred slightly bigger but no complaints, better than too big and cumbersome.
I found the pictures very inspiring. She has a lovely figure and wears some very nice outfits, not at all off-putting in any way, and I can only assume that the reviewer who wrote such a scathing review, may be suffering from a spot of sour grapes!
The text is informative without being overloaded with words or complicated descriptions.
I purchased the book out of curiosity after reading the bad review to see what the complaints were about and also because I am interested in some of the pole dancing moves as a way of exercise for muscle tone, etc, and didn't want anything too advanced, just the basics really. This book covers very well everything I wanted to know, and I am very pleased with it.
