If you have the huge, 2014 Taschen published The art of the pin-up (ISBN 9783836535700) or the much smaller sized 2022 reprint (ISBN 978-3836577670) you'll have most of the paintings in this book. The only advantage is that it brings the subject up to date with illustrations from Achilleos, Aslan, Sorayama, Stevens, Vallejo, Koufay, Williams and some lessor known artists. I was, though, very disappointed with the production. It looks like some thick industrial product catalog. The page design and typography is really dull looking with captions overprinted on the pictures and no thought given to the opening spreads of each decade. The book is a Special from Illustrators magazine with one real ad and four from the publisher.
