The Nipple

£3.00

Bram Stoker needed an image for Dracula's most famous scene and reached, without a second thought, for a child pushing a kitten's nose into a saucer of milk. Odd little moments like that are where this book lives.

It follows the nipple through anatomy and the nervous system, the history of censorship and its very wobbly lines, looking and touching, breastfeeding, piercing, and the simple question of why so many people like it. Its argument is that the mixed signals are the point, which is why the subject never gets old.

What you get: a ZIP file containing the book as a PDF (212 pages) and an EPUB, so you can read it on a computer, tablet or e-reader.
