The phrase “Kama Sutra” is something of an easy punchline these days (particularly in our inexplicably puritanical culture) – and one often deployed by people who’ve never even bothered to read and/or peruse the work in question. Luckily, our friends at the Folio Society are filling that gap, with a knockout new limited edition of the Hindu guide for living, complete with gorgeous (and, let’s be real here, hot) new illustrations by Victo Ngai. They’re only publishing 750 hand-numbered, signed-by-the-artist copies, and they cost a buck or two. But if you need some encouragement, take a look at our exclusive gallery.
