I've written reviews of the three new (and very different) polyamory and open marriage books that have just come out:
polyinthemedia.blogspot.com/2008....html

They are
*The Polyamory Handbook* by Peter J. Bensen
*Open* by Jenny Block
*Opening* Up by Tristan Taormino

Enjoy.

      I went to the bookstore this evening, of the books mentioned they had two of them,

      the threesome book, I looked thru it, it's fun, has some guidelines, I didnt "read" it yet, but I do plan to buy it, its inexpensive and seems like a fun read and book to add to our library, certainly a book that can be used as a conversation piece....

      the other book they had is the one by Tristan Taormino, Opening... WOW!! inpressive read so far, I began it this evening, my only "complaint" is that it makes it seem that "open relationhips" etc, began in the 20th century, and doesnt address the fact that "alternative living" was happening even as far back as the greeks and romans, BUT, small complaint overall.. and, I realize that even though she mentions "history" of Alt Relationships trying to include everything would make it seem even more text bookish..

      I am enjoying this book, and again plan to add it to our library... so far, I would highly recommend this book,

      they didnt have the two poly books, those have to be ordered.. so after I read these I will order the others..

      thanks agin for the suggestions, I'm happy tohave some new resources for information.. so far, no big revelations.. but certainly worth the read..
