• The Mammoth Book of Erotic Photography (2001), Marilyn Jaye Lewis and Maxim Jakubowski, eds.

• Naked Rooms (2002) by Peter Gorman with Marilyn Jaye Lewis, ed.
  Photographer Peter Gorman’s approach to the female nude is not only unique, it’s unforgettable. If you’re a fan of artistic photography, or certainly of erotic photography, as I am, you might come across one of Gorman’s photos at Nerve, Salon, or in the Australian fine art magazine Black + White and instantly recall if you’ve been exposed to his work before. The images are never less than startling, provocative; sometimes strangely claustrophobic, but always memorable.

• The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotica (2002), Marilyn Jaye Lewis and Maxim Jakubowski, eds.
  As artful as it is exciting, as tasteful as it is daring, this up-market illustrated Mammoth volume offers a massive gallery of stunning images by eighty photographers who have set the trends in nude photography and made a mark with their erotica in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe. Among the photographers included by the editors of this piquant and varied collection stand Robert Mapplethorpe, Helmut Newton, Wolfgang Eichler, Bob Carlos Clarke, Mario Testino, Wolfgang Tilmans, Roy Stuart, Trevor Watson, Michele Serchuk, Trevor Baker, Pascal Baetens, and Eric Kroll. All the photographers in the volume are generously represented by six pages of images that showcase their particular talent to best advantage in highly nuanced, top-quality black-and-white reproductions. Accompanying the presentation of each set of images, meticulously chosen for their aesthetic as well as their erotic appeal, are brief biographical vignettes of the photographers themselves that together provide a survey of developments and experiments that have advanced the artistry of contemporary erotic photography.
