Welcome to my giant list of BDSM books! I’ve curated this list over the years of favorite reads and recommendations from others. I’ve not read every single book on this list and therefore do not endorse every single book on this list. This isn’t an all-encompassing list of every single BDSM book ever, just one of popular and useful books.
