I have all of these but the first one, which I have heard many good things about.

I'll take the liberty of recommending one for you: The New Topping Book

It covers the basics and (unusually for a bdsm how to guide) is written with a sense of humour rather than the insufferable pomposity and a conviction that the author is one of the elect and so innately superior to the vanilla scum who make up the rest of the human race. Funny, helpful and constructive.
It's also very (Northern) English, and might be hard to find in the 'States, sadly.

Status: offline 		I'd missed the K Mart thing in the OP, but fucking hell, yes. Plus as many ones as can be mustered. This is a store that won't carry Dan Brown in case they offend the Pope and somebody's expecting to find kinky lifestyle guides there? Ain't gonna happen.

(I'd also suggest abebooks if Samhain is going to look into buying books online. A lot of the stock is overpriced, but if something has ever been published, there will be a copy on there, even if you need to sell a kidney to afford it...)

They also have some beautiful books in their Sexuality section about different kinds of sex (oral, Tantric, Kama Sutra, etc.), sensual massage, etc.
Enjoy!!

Check out Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Ebay and Alibris.  The last one is where I get my Gor books if Ebay sellers are charging too damn much for them. Barnes and Noble even have an account on Ebay (that is where I got my Lovecraft book).
