Talk:Sex (book)

risque

My wife was working in a Canadian Bookstore when Madonna's 'Sex' came out. The store kept one unsealed copy behind the counter, so that adult patrons could see the contents before buying. After a few days, the store staff learned to only make the viewing copy available if a specific request was made, as they found that anyone that actually saw what the contents of the book were didn't end up buying it. Maybe people assumed that the fact that it was sold wrapped in plastic meant that it was far more risque than it really was...

Citations

There is only one citation in this whole article, and it's a dead link. --DOHC Holiday (talk) 05:22, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

The Japanese Edition

This article contradicts itself by saying that 1 million copies of the Japanese edition were printed, and then in the next paragraph saying that 500,000 copies were printed. Which is correct? TheMindsEye 04:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Evaluation

Lots of content; the only thing missing from B (or even GA) is references. --AnonEMouse ^(squeak) 16:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Broken link

The link regarding it being among the most challenged books of the nineties goes to a non-existent article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.226.136.46 (talk) 21:21, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Original cost

I've been through the argument before, but I have to ask - surely the statements of the current enhanced value of the book (supported by estimated prices), would be more useful if the article stated the original selling price? Due to past experience, I am merely making the observation, not recommending that this information be added. I would be grateful if anyone could tell me the original cost, however.

49.95 USD Mrlopez2681 (talk) 16:34, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

To add to that, the idea that a $50 book now being worth 2-3x that as "very valuable" is pretty silly. "Very valuable" would be a book that is worth $100,000. Many books double or triple in value over 10-20 years. Sex was released in massive numbers and so has not appreciated much. 76.65.6.178 (talk) 22:48, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

Video section

There are users who have been deleting this sections on the grounds that there are no "references". As one can clearly see, the article has little references as a whole, but these passages have not been deleted.

The section is certainly important to the article. --Mrlopez2681 (talk) 16:32, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Prototype cover is a FAKE

the so called "prototype" cover is a chineese fake that is sometimes sold on eBay.
