One of the great joys of putting out a book is reading other's interpretations of it. I had the honor of reading an eye-opening review by Thomas S. Roche, editor of Eros Zine. Below are a few excerpts. Read the entire review HERE:

"...Thus began Archibald's bizarre odyssey, a trip which has produced one of publishing history's most amusing, fascinating and unexpectedly profound photo books on sex.

Archibald doesn't hold the inventors up to ridicule or chide their "unusual" interests the way so many mainstream writers on sexuality might when presented with a topic at once so perverse and titillating. On the contrary, Archibald is too busy letting the inventors speak for themselves -- drawing a portrait both seductively simple and mind-bendingly complex, a photo-booth snapshot of how sexuality and technology can interact in unexpectedly beautiful ways.

Whether the idea of a sex machine excites you or just fascinates you, this book should not be missed. Timothy Archibald has created an artistic document of freakish and downright weighty candor, at once an important book and a hilarious, mind-bending epic. It's the sort of book that comes along far too infrequently. Sex Machines is nothing less than awesome. "
