Three editions of Joani Blank's Good Vibrations: The Complete Women's Guide to Vibrators. The 1976 first edition "Invented and hand lettered" by Joani Blank and illustrated by Tee Corinne. The 1982 edition dropped the "Women's" from the title to make the book inclusive and features cover art by Tee Corinne and illustrations by Marcia Quackenbush. The 1989 Revised edition has a preface by Betty Dodson.

"I have not become addicted to the vibrator; it has not numbed my genitals, nor caused them to enlarge or shrink. My partner does not feel threatened by the vibrator, nor does he think anything is wrong with me because I use it. Although I use the vibrator a lot, I almost always prefer clitoral stimulation with my hand. Handwork takes longer, though, and like many busy people I rarely give myself the gift of time for relaxed self-pleasuring. 

This book is not intended to turn all readers into vibrator enthusiasts. Instead, I want to de-mystify vibrators, answer some commonly asked questions and facilitate experimentation.'

"Joani Blank founded Good Vibrations, the only store in the United States specializing in vibrators, in 1977. In her shop, women can comfortably discover, investigate and purchase vibrators. Ms. Blank has often joked that what she's learned about vibrators could fill a book. Here's that book.

This updated edition of Good Vibrations: The Complete Guide to Vibrators covers all the essentials, types of vibrators, purchasing a vibrator, ways to enjoy vibrators and more. It suggests ways that partners can use vibrators together, and has a special section discussing vibrator use by men. A fascinating, newly-researched history discusses the use of the vibrator in the nineteenth century to induce orgasm and its development as a labor-saving medical device."
