About the author
Informative and engaging
In the age of the internet where we have a wealth of information available at our literal fingertips, it would be easy to dismiss the necessity of a book about breasts. Unfortunately breasts, their functions and health, are still considered a taboo subject by many. So having factual and non-judgemental information available in a handy tome is invaluable.The book is a little larger than A5, square bound and hard covered. It's also available on Kindle and as an audiobook. The print is clear, if a little small, with simple clear stylised illustrations. Everything is laid out well and easy to understand. Making it easy to quickly reference. The book is divided into nine main chapters. The opening chapter explores function, evolution, historic and sociological views on breasts. It's quite concise but touches upon a number of subjects no covered in the bulk of the book. The next five chapters look at anatomy and development. Covering a wealth of topics that you will encounter throughout life. Including puberty, shape and size, bra fitment, checks, pregnancy and breastfeeding, and the menopause. Chapters seven and eight focus on health, with chapter eight dedicated to cancer. These include lots of information about signs and symptoms, and treatments and procedures. The final chapter looks at and answers questions about surgery, including enlargement, reduction and reconstructive.You could be forgiven for expecting a book like this read like a text book. Surprisingly the writing is genuinely engaging. Imparting knowledge in a detailed but easy to understand manner throughout. The book reads well as a whole, or simply as a reference. At no point does it feel like the writer is being judgemental. Even about commonly divisive subjects, instead presenting facts and dispelling myths. There is some repetition across the chapters. Though I feel this is necessary due to the nature of the book to make access to information quicker.It could be said that Breasts: An owner's guide is essential reading for all women. It is filled with loads of essential information from bras to health. But I would go one further and say it's an essential read for all. As a man I am a son of a mother, a husband to a wife, and father to a daughter. Understanding their health is every bit as important as my own.

I initially ordered this thinking it was mainly for my partner and something that may help my daughter as she grows up. In that respect it is perfect, but what I didn't expect was how much I as a partner and a father would learn from this. Honestly in hindsight I thought I knew all I needed to know, but I now have a completely fresh appreciation and understanding. I like many others would strongly recommend this book for everyone and especially for those Dads with daughters growing up. as I think this will help answer questions that I would previously had to brush off or responded with 'speak to your mum'. now I hope to be able to help and at the least sit down with this book or other appropriate material and talk through concerns or questions.
The ladies in my house loved it, and I learnt a huge amount.
