Wedged full of originalartwork by Zack Flavin, and featuring interviews with game developers and guestbutt reviews from gaming favourites such as Jim Sterling, Stuart Ashen,Brentalfloss and more, this book is a deep dive into why butts are downrightintegral to the games we play.

So, crack itopen and have a cheeky look inside at some of the most interesting bottoms theworld of video games has to offer.
