| Reviews |
". . . the first reference work of its kind, successfully bringing together 341 entries about prostitution worldwide, with a heavy focus on the United States and a user-friendly format and timeline for easy reference. . . . This encyclopedia is an absolutely essential reference work, especially for those academic libraries that support women/gender studies, sociology, human sexuality, psychology, and other related courses of study for undergraduates and beyond."

"A path-breaking encyclopedia... I found this encyclopedia very informative and the two volumes kept me engrossed and mesmerized for weeks together. Every page is so full of new information. Highly recommended for social scientists, social workers, social reformers, workers in the field of community medicine, ... NGOs, gynecologists and obstetricians and even forensic pathologists. In addition, writers, authors, bibliophiles, teachers, professors and educators, and above all a general well-informed layman would enjoy this encyclopedia immensely. The non-technical language used in the encyclopedia makes this encyclopedia accessible to everyone."
