The anonymous introduction to Girls' Girls says this:

There is a special fascination for men in the theme of female-to-female sexuality. The four previously unpublished stories by the late John Lyons presented in this volume explore the topic, with attention to popular variations such as submission, seduction, and wrestling. We have decided to forgo the addition of text because these vignettes tell stories well with art alone.

Lyons' women are suited to their roles. His dominants have a cool self-assurance that is reflected in their postures and expressions. They can be seductive without surrendering any of their strength. The partners they seduce are, to an equal degree, innocent and malleable. The artist brings such life to these scenes that it is easy for anyone viewing them to imagine what went on before the action started and what might occur afterward.

Also featured [seven pictures] in this edition is art by another master of erotic illustration, Eric Stanton. His appreciation of female bondage and fetish fashion is evident in each of these works. Early experience in fashion illustration adds an extra dimension to his depiction of bizarre clothing. He's so good that sometimes you hope his ladies won't take off their clothes.

Finally, we have included [two pictures] rare pictures by John Willie, the creator of the popular trendsetting character, Sweet Gwendoline. For years a worldwide following of cognoscenti has acclaimed and eagerly sought his work. . . .

As we gleaned from Mr. Lyons's femdom illustrations, his female ideal displays strength and generous proportions. Friendly and fleshy, we meet his lesbians on the sofa, in the kitchen, and in an easy chair reading a book. One large woman with curlers in her hair smokes cigarettes and drinks beer while she seduces the object of her desire.

The original booklet presents illustrations on 29 pages, some of which have two panels. The optimized ebook exposes the pictures on more than 50 pages. The Lyons portion of the content appears to be painted, and the last vignette, which might occur in an artist's studio, shows brush strokes.
