Pros
Each chapter self-contained, modern book, great writing style.
Cons
May be more suited for beginners and may not offer much to those comfortable with porn.

This book provides a solid foundation for those new to porn. Violet Blue has written a thorough introduction to the industry with tips and tricks for finding porn you'll enjoy. Extremely useful for those not familiar with what's out there.
Pros
Lots of useful, basic information for porn searches.
Cons
Sometimes necessarily vague due to diverse readership.

Superhotsex
Superhotsex is a great book for couples who are looking to bring some excitement into their bedroom (or backseat). With beautiful photography and well written content, it's an easy read for both men and women, and if read together can lead to some wonderful conversations about fantasies and kinks. While not for the faint of heart this book isn't for those who "sleep on the edge" either. It's the perfect companion for those who want more from their bedroom but don't know how to get it.
Pros
Great for couples, beautiful photographs, well written
Cons
Not really same-sex couple friendly

Pros
Tasteful photos & helpful topics
Cons
Didn't learn anything new

Sex Bible
A decent first book for curious newcomers to the bedroom. But despite informative writing and beautiful design, this book lacks somewhat in feeling and originality.
Pros
Beautiful photos and some first-hand testimonials
Cons
Somewhat ordinary and sterile tone

While I feel this book would be a nice gift for a hetero (and relatively conservative and/or vanilla) couple for their wedding, or maybe for your parents, but as a student of sexology, I can't truly endorse it...It's very pretty though, really!

101 Nights of Grrreat Romance
If you want to re-ignite romance in your relationship, this book is a great way to do it. The ideas are all there for you and you can adapt them to fit your relationship perfectly. If you're just starting out in a relationship, this could still be a great resource, but it isn't really aimed at you.
Pros
Great ideas and reminders for re-learning (or just learning) to romance your spouse
Cons
Not a great choice for singles, young couples, or people who are already pretty romantic
Rating:

This book has a lot of great ideas you can do to spice up the romance in your relationship or just to increase excitement. It is easy to use and a lot of fun to read. Some ideas are less than appealing but the majority are worth giving a try so I gave this book 4 stars.
Pros
Lots of ideas, lots of variety, easy to use.
Cons
Some lame ideas, can get expensive.

How to Be a Bedroom Goddess

Pros
Fun and easy to understand
Cons
A bit short
Rating:

This book would be a great gift for a close friend or someone who is recently married because it's more flirty in nature than sexual. However, I wouldn't recommend this to someone who is looking to purchase this for themselves to spice up their sex life.
Pros
GREAT illustrations, flirty and fun, history lessons are unique
Cons
Sex tips aren't very helpful, book is 2/3 a history lesson
Rating:

If you or someone you know is new to the art of lovemaking, this book is perfect. It's romantic, it's beautiful, it's just like sex should be. Granted the raunchy stuff is fun too, but the very basic element of lovemaking is love and sharing ones self with a partner. Though the more experienced may find the positions to be yesterdays news, perhaps a new bride who is still all full of lovy-dovy butterflies would find this book absolutely enchanting.
Pros
Beautiful and tasteful soft-core style photographs of positions, helpful hints, romantic overtones.
Cons
Positions may be old news for some.

Threesome
This book sat on my bookshelf for several months without being read cover-to-cover. I found it lacking in substance, disrespectful of bisexual men, encouraging of deceit to the end of getting what you want in bed, and rather dry overall. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
Pros
The chapter The Bisexual Woman does contain some valid, useful information.
Cons
The topics are far too brief. Much is excluded or skimmed over that shouldn't be.
Rating:

This books offer very little in the way of accurate, up-to-date, and responsible information for newbies who have just started seeking threesomes. People with experience in threesome may find it creepy, or pathetic, or both.
Pros
sadly, none-- the small amount of useful info in this book is available for free elsewhere.
Cons
Oh so very many reasons why not-- the book is ineffective and kinda creepy
