4.0
When I browsed through this book at the bookstore, it certainly lived up to its subtitle. So I bought it (after much thought.

Illustrations are for the most part detailed, clear, and don't elicit "squickiness" in the reader (though I admit I'm clinical-minded and somewhat immune to shock about explicit sexual images (thanks to having been a public librarian in the post-Internet, pre-filtering days!)
