MADONNA - SEX - THE RARE JAPANESE EDITION (SUPERIOR IN PRINT QUALITY TO ANY USA EDITION!

About The Book: [publisher: Dohosha, Tokyo] Hardcover First Edition The classic Madonna SEX Book. This is the scarce JAPANESE edition, with remarkably clearer images than the American edition (see auction images). 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. In addition to Madonna, the book features Isabella Rossellini, Naomi Campbell, Vanilla Ice, Big Daddy Kane 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).

Condition: Overall excellent, particularly for the age of this volume.  See all auction images before bidding and feel free to ask any questions you may have before bidding as well.  The original shipping box is present and does show wear, tape marks, etc.  The aluminum covers show some minor wear, scratches, but nothing major whatsoever.  The interior pages are in excellent condition, appearing to be mostly unread.  The comic book is in the same excellent, unread-looking condition.

Bidding starts at just $199.  Similar volumes of this edition (much more rare than the US edition) in this condition are found elsewhere online for $275 to 475!

Shipping: We have decades of experience is packing and shipping fragile artworks.  All items are bubble wrapped and boxed for safe handling and delivery (we never use envelopes).
