Complete Shibari, Volume 2: Sky
The second volume of Douglas Kent's Complete Shibari series (Mental Gears Publishing, 2010), devoted to rope suspension and its hardware and safety.
Complete Shibari Volume 2: Sky is the second volume of Douglas Kent’s Complete Shibari series, published by Mental Gears Publishing. The bookseller Hares & Hyenas lists it as a 96-page paperback in English with the same publication date as the first volume, March 1, 2010, and records both volumes as out of print since June 2017.
The publisher’s description, reproduced by the bookseller, presents the two-volume series as an accessible English-language guide for people who found shibari hard to learn from existing resources. It says this volume builds on Volume 1: Land and moves on to erotic rope suspension, with more than 340 step-by-step illustrations and photographs. Like the first volume, it calls itself a hands-on guide for people who want to practice rather than a book of knots. The topics it names include safety during a scene, establishing anchor points, choosing suspension hardware, and the physics and skills involved in lifting a person safely.
