So many people have become interested in bondage, but have no idea where to start. So, this book is definitely worth the money for someone who is just getting their feet wet, so to speak, when it comes to the world of bondage.

A dandy little pocket guide to Shibari Rope Bondage, Dare to Try Bondage is a great book for beginners and advanced players alike. With easy to follow diagrams, you will be on your way to erotic bondage in no time. A wonderful reference guide, this book also covers safety, suspension and bondage to furniture.

I had decent hopes for this book, but the more I read, the more confused and concerned I was. While the diagrams are okay and can be a little difficult to follow, the suggestion on how to introduce your partner to bondage really threw me off the entire thing.

Keep in mind that this book focuses almost entirely on Shibari (Japanese rope bondage). The book covers a lot for its size, but I felt that more written instruction was needed. Additionally, not every position pictured was explained. I see it as more of an inspirational book than a how-to.
