July 16, 201311 yr Author I don't love the cover picture. The way they cropped it makes her look manly, especially on the top. But good for Nina she got it, shame her face didn't make it lol

July 16, 201311 yr wow it looks promising.I love the previews so far. btw can somebody get photos of Veronica Varekova and Petra Nemcova, pretty please? It says I have to sign in to see them but I can't see them even though I'm registered it just repeats to "sign in"
July 16, 201311 yr Navel down, the cover looks great. Not sure what they were doing when they cropped the top part though.
July 16, 201311 yr Author ^ I know, Nina is so tiny but they way the cropped the picture makes look bigger, kind of like a boy. It's just odd, I don't know wtf happened there @ve.ro.ni.ka that's all there is for Petra I think, and for Veronica it's the same. We'll have to wait until the book is out to see more pictures of them

July 16, 201311 yr Author ^ I think she is talking about how they made Nina's body look awkward. It's normal and understandable why they didn't show her face, and they just did the body but the way they cropped it it's just not working 100%. Her upper body looks too big for her lower body.

October 22, 201311 yr Oh my gosh I need to buy this! It looks great! Thanks for posting the previews.
October 23, 201311 yr It is a terrific book. Huge. And, I mean HUGE. It was shockingly large, and very thick, too. The pages are thick paper and very high quality printing. It's well worth the money if you're an SI Swimsuit fan. (And, no they didn't pay me to write this, although I'd happily accept payment by way of attending a swimsuit photoshoot once!)
October 23, 201311 yr Does any one own the book? I'd like to know if Laetitia Casta is in it and if the pictures are unpublished ones?
