Elegant Tradition: Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra
Sixteen centuries of tradition in India, one hundred and twenty years in antiquated English, and more than ten years of careful research are beautifully held between the covers of this book. Considering its excellent translation, archival elegant binding, and most of all, its detailed illustrations, I absolutely recommend this book for personal use or as a gift for scholars and lovers alike.

Pros
Faithful but accessible translation with detailed paintings provide the full Kama Sutra experience.
Cons
Gold text is hard to read in low light.

The book hasn't changed, and neither have my thoughts! This is of high quality, in translation, in execution, and in construction. It would make a great wedding gift.
