Rear Ends: Found Photos

by Roger Handy, Karin Elsener

Rear Ends is a bottom’s up to the backside! On the beach or in the backyard, clad in stripes, bloomers, or nothing at all, behinds are instantly recognizable and always amusing. From cute babies to playful adults who should really know better, the glutei maximi in all of these found photographs are seen bouncing on furniture or tumbling on the ground in impressive displays of gymnastic prowess.

Young, old, in black-and-white or in color, bottoms and the comedic possibilities they present are infinite and timeless. Quirky and charming, this cheeky collection of photographs is sure to appeal to anyone with a penchant for the posterior.

WARNING - some of these images will be branded on your brain! Once you open up this book you will not be able to look away! Would definitely put this book in the category of 'gag gift' that you would give to your risqué uncle (who would then bring it up in future family gatherings).

All kinds of photos featuring a butt. Erotic, hilarious, charming.

Given my surname, I needed a book of bums around the house.
Delightful photos of a delightful body part. Young and old, generous or bony, they're in here. Watch as bottoms wrestle with vacuum cleaners, work on cars or pose in groups.
Bet your bottom dollar, it's a hoot.

This is a cute little photo book. I was hoping there would be text of some sort to provide context for all the pictures, but since these are found photos there's nothing written about them at all. I thought it might be a good YA book for reluctant readers, and while I think kids/teens/everybody would enjoy it, it's not really a book to get someone reading. The text consists of a single introductory page, and to be honest I found it kind of insufferable. Oh well.
