The Bare Facts Video Guide, 2001: Where to Find Your Favorite Actresses Nude on Videotape

This is one reference book that has only one purpose in mind. And the author does the job in readable, practical detail, giving us star ratings and descriptions of various nude scenes. Unlike the 1996 edition, this one only has information on actresses. This is no intellectual guide for movie buffs, but it's quite useful for those with an eye on actresses in the buff.

Mr. Hosada has been publishing this information since his earliest version in 1989. The earlier versions included "Actors" as well as "Actresses." In the late 1990s he released "Updates", additions to previous volimes. This edition has "Actresses" only. He has continued to update the filmographies of the actresses, so you can see other works, as well as the "Bare Facts", which makes it useful as a reference. I have not cross-referenced from the earlier editions, but the book doesn't seem to have dropped earlier information to add new information (other than the deletion of "Actors") unlike some reference books on films on TV and Video, where older movies get dropped to allow room for new ones. His ratings are factual, and he doesn't use "cutesy" terminology. Desirable addition to a movie documentation collection as well as an incentive to look for obscure movies to see some of the "Bare Facts."

Absolutely the best resource material for videos. The amount of detail and exact time sequences is unrivaled. This is the type of job I want. The only downer is that this book is not updated on a yearly basis and we have to wait every 3-4 years for new material. I keep up on the releases and am always one of the first to order the book.
