The New Topping Book
Two decades ago, this book (and its companion volume, The New Bottoming Book) began teaching tens of thousands of people the joyous arts of BDSM topping and bottoming – not just “how-to,” but “why-to”… the insider details of emotional support and ethical interaction during kinky play. Since then, the growing popularity of BDSM, and the blossoming of the Internet as a source of information and connection, have created a whole new universe of possibilities for players. Now, the completely updated revised New Topping Book gives even more insights and ideas, updated for a new millennium, about how to be a successful, popular player! “Easton and Hardy tackle the Top… and bring that elusive critter down neatly and with a certain flair. This is good stuff, important stuff… an excellent guide to topping, both for the rank novice and for the player who just wants words to put to all the thoughts and feelings that have resisted categorization.” – Laura Antoniou, Sandmutopian Guardian

An Amazingly Dense Book
I mean “dense” in the sense of being packed with information, concepts, and thought provoking stories and questions. So much so that I found myself highlighting entire paragraphs.There is an uplifting philosophy of respect for oneself and for others which runs through the book. This promotes empathy towards others and development of self-understanding.This is a book which will require multiple readings with periods of reflection and exploration between readings from which to garner the greatest benefit.

Tip Top Handbook With A Side Of Theory
Really useful information, touches on a lot of topics that other books don’t. I had read The New Bottoming Book by the same authors years ago and wanted to give this one a try, and I’m so glad I did. Learned a lot from this book and it gave me lots to think about. It’s inclusive, thoughtful, honest, and really shows how experienced the authors are in the subject. Highly recommend this to any top wanting to learn more and get some food for thought, and to any bottom who wants to see the top view of things.

Good book with good points.
This is a thoughtful look at the mindset of topping in a general way. It’s not all BDSM oriented, it’s focused on the power dynamic relationship in a way that should allow the advice to be adapted to fit most relationships that use a non-traditional power dynamic.

Worth the time and price.
One of the best I’ve read on the subject yet, and I’ve read quite a few in the last year. I’ve read at least one other book and other excerpts and articles by this author and can tell that the author speaks from experience.

Best BDSM book I’ve read so far
This book was incredible. The content was easy to digest and addressed many areas of topping which I had not considered as a novice. I have already re-read the book after reading some other bdsm literature and still find the book insightful and found aspects that I glossed over previously. Especially helpful for me were the interviews snippets and scenes, which helped me understand that some of my personal fears of being a top are shared by others and its not something that is wrong with me. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone interested in the scene.

Recommended read for tops
Educational read, not too simple but not over complex either.
