The cover is modern and when I first saw it, I thought it looked like it would be a lengthy book with a lot of pictures. Something like a coffee table book about masculine beauty throughout history. I thought that it would be a take on what was traditionally a female topic. I don't have any interest in this subject matter, but I appreciate that many people will. I titled my post "highly relevant" because it definitely is! Gender based studies and research are hot topics right now, and I hope that whomever is interested in such subjects will find this book useful and interesting.
