Kama Sutra review

       The most recent addition to the complete review is my review of A.N.D.Haksar's recent translation of Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra: A Guide to the Art of Pleasure -- now also available in the US, as a 'Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition' (meaning, apparently: a paperback with flaps).

       This came out in a hardcover edition in the UK last year (and is now also available in paperback there) -- and each of the four Penguin editions (US, UK hardcover, UK paperback, India) has a different cover:

Kama Sutra - US    Kama Sutra - India

Kama Sutra - UK (hardcover)    Kama Sutra - UK (paperback)


       (Of course, there are dozens of other Kama Sutra translations and editions -- indeed, Penguin also published the Richard Burton one as a Penguin Classic (and does so with different covers, too: compare the UK one (here at Amazon.co.uk) and the Indian one (here at Flipkart).)
