Lighting and Posing Tecniques for Photographing Women by Norman Phillips

In case you aren't aware, I'll tell you up front that I am not a fan of Amherst Media books. They tend to be put together too fast and with little quality control. They also seem to be put together by public relations and advertising people rather that content experts. At least that's the perception I get from their books.
So when I say that I was not overly impressed with this book that's probably not too surprising. Phillips has gathered together the works of several photographers and presents a general overview of how to take pictures of women. The book's focus is not on nude photography. Unfortunately, in my opinion the book is just to general in context. There is little you can get here that you couldn't get done better elsewhere. My recommendation is pass on this one.
