Truly, what I loved best about SM 101 was the fact it was a little dated. I never bother with sections like that anyway, as it’s always US-specific, and I live on the other side of world. I saw one review complaining the information about some products (like lube) was now incorrect. And there’re some weird typos, but anybody with a decent grasp of English will be able to translate! What I imagine are funny anecdotes that dot the pages of the paper book, have become bizarre out of place sentences that occasionally turn up in the middle of a chapter. ■ I bought the Kindle version, and the transition from paper to digital hasn’t exactly gone smoothly. “A third benefit is the ability to put up what’s called a “web page” that describes yourself, your interests, your company or other matters.” ■ …My absolute favourite quote of the whole book (from the 1997 Internet Update section at the back): ■ …Because of one major thing: The Internet… The first edition was released in 1992, and “the scene” has changed hugely since then… It goes over a lot of information BDSMers already know, (hence the 101), but I found it was written in a way that I enjoyed revisiting the basics. I can’t pinpoint it exactly, but for some reason I loved this book.
