In addition to ''The Naked Man'' I have a copy of Desmond Morris' most famous book, [[''The Naked Ape]] '' in front of me. That one cost 65p in 1977 and the contrast between the two is phenomenal. This new book is bigger, arguably better, and most importantly looks brilliant on a coffee table with its glossy pages, full colour photographs and hot piece of naked eye candy on the front. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but its hard not to when it looks like this.
I'd not actually read ''The Naked Ape'' before I got this new one, but when I realised there was a whole series going on ( [[The Naked Woman]] came out in paperback a few years ago) I did wonder whether these two new ones were just a re-hashing of the old, neatly split up to make a book for each sex. They're not, though, because while ''The Naked Ape'' concentrated on origins and rituals for the species as a whole, the new titles are much more body specific.
