The Story of Emma has sold more copies than almost any other book we have ever published. Some years ago a bundle papers arrived at our offices which were the diaries of a lady named Emma Stewart. We were unable to contact her and eventually I handed them across to Sean to organise and 'fictionalise'. The result is a searing account of a successful young woman's descent into the world of BDSM. At first it is a journey of sensual discovery but then some malicious ghosts from her past pursue her and she finds that she is terribly vulnerable for the first time in her life. Some time after we published, Emma herself surfaced and this edition does contain some bonus pages she has now contributed. A remarkable book in all respects. Views: 29
