Lost Girls by Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie

Lost Girls: A Review:

It's not just that it's surprising -- although it is. The first printing of "Lost Girls" -- 10,000 copies -- sold out in a day. The second printing, also of 10,000 copies, sold out in advance two days later. The day the book went on sale, it hit Amazon.com's "Top 20." And it's gotten passionate rave reviews, not just from the adult press, but from places like Publisher's Weekly, USA Today, Kirkus Reviews, Variety, Booklist, and many, many others -- and from individuals ranging from Neil Gaiman to Brian Eno to Susie Bright.

A pretty surprising response for a book of pornography -- and even more surprising given that it's essentially a big, beautifully-made dirty comic book.

Apollo and I bought Lost Girls for ourselves as a late Giftmas™ present, and we love it.

When I try to describe it to friends, I explain that it takes two hands to read, but that I go off to the bathroom for some 'private time' afterwards!
