I have read Daughters and the Handbook.
However I read both in French - and particularly, I know of no English version of the Handbook, but I know there are English versions of his other works.
Trois filles de leur mère is, like kea said, both deeply erotic and deeply connected with girlness - which is a very hard trick to achieve. A very recommended reading if you and your local police don't care about some X rated scenes.
Manuel de civilité pour les petites filles à l'usage des maisons d'éducation is probably the most funny read I have ever undertaken. He has no shame in tearing apart the moral fabric of Western society or in being as in-your-face about the promiscuous yet empowering sexuality of the little girl as literarily possible. Also very recommended, but as I said before, I don't know of any available version in English. Maybe I should volunteer to translate it...
