No one disputes the unique skill Mr. Bishop devoted to the depiction of female forms revised by flesh-shaping restraints. In mechanical detail, feminine charm and anatomical plausibility, no artist's oeuvre surpasses the ink, airbrush and paint illustrations The Bishop gave us. His curves and corners reflect 1970s graphic styles, and direct those influences at erotic objectives.

Subtle renderings expose the bulge of leather, shine of rivets, drape of fabrics, and knots that affix cords to D-rings. His art shows graceful waves of hair, repetitions of crossed laces, the gleam of latex, the tightness of buckled straps and polished steel. Gags, slotted cuffs, spreader bars, metal frames, tight panties, single-gloves, collars, belts, and blindfolds adorn the compact proportions of his female ideal.

The two volumes that serve as source material for the optimized ebook have the size, shape and construction of full-sized magazines. All content of these publications is included in the ebook, except text, advertising, and the first episode of Fanni Hall..

Although the sequence of pictures in the ebook follows that of the originals, titles were excised. Books categorize Mr. Bishop's art under these headings:

• Women in Bondage

• Gags Galore

• Rubber Love

• The Dominatrixes

• Girls Alone In Rope and Leather

• Girls Alone Strictly Tied

• Men Dominating Women

• Women Dominating Everyone

The optimized ebook presents one picture or picture fragment on each page. Small illustrations appear once. Larger pictures first appear complete and are followed by virtual enlargements of bondage elements or figure features. This presentation technique is intended to reduce the need for zooming and scrolling.
200+ pages.

Brightness, contrast and levels were adjusted. Mr. Bishop's art transposed to ebook format with smooth gradients and edges.
