Synopsis
More than 600 pictures ? portraits and pornography, postcards and cuttings and snapshots from private albums ? go to make up one man's personal and highly idiosyncratic view of gay history since the invention of the camera. Gay people, their friends, lovers, idols and enemies in all their glory, divas, bodybuilders and drag queens, heroes and villains, from Marie Lloyd to Madonna, Sandow to Schwarzenegger, Boulton to Savage, Labouchere to Mary Whitehouse. And alongside the famous and infamous, are the images of ?ordinary? gay men taken at moments that only friends and lovers would bother to record.

Review
This sensational book has been banished from my coffee table since any guest who picks it up is totally engrossed for the next few hours? Jonathan Hales in Gay Times Books of the Year ?Thankfully, after several hefty books chronicling the history of homosexuality, somebody at Serpent's Tail decided to do it in pictures and in coffee table format... (List)
The kind of book you buy on impulse, the photos are truly fascinating. But it's the accompanying written history and the stories next to the images that make it a unique record of English gay history. (Sydney Star Observer)
