Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes
Larry Utley $16.95
When Two Knotty Boys, Dan and J. D., began teaching rope bondage together in 1999, they discovered that most people learn best when they're shown — close up, step by step, and repeatedly — how to tie basic knots and combine them into bondage techniques. It is this learning process that they duplicate in this book. With the help of world-renowned photographer Larry Utley, they use over 750 photos and captions to explicate the soup-to-nuts techniques for turning great knots into great bondage that is safe, sensual, attractive, and effective. Readers can learn at their own pace, review whole techniques at a single glance, or even lay it flat on the table (beside their blindfolded partner) and follow along as they tie. Two Knotty Boys Showing You the Ropes appeals to those interested in improving the quality of their sex lives, not to mention aficionados of bondage and discipline/sadomasochism (BDSM), both curious newcomers and serious players alike.

Hard Boys
by Harry Bush $35.00

Harry Bush’s drawings for magazines such as Physique Pictorial, Mr. Sun, Touch, Drummer, and Stroke combined masterful technique, exceptionally well-endowed subjects, and a wicked sense of humor that made his work extremely popular. Despite long periods of self-imposed retirement and a fear of being outed that led him to destroy much of his own work, the reclusive artist’s drawings were as recognized and recognizable as those of Tom of Finland throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Hard Boys examines the life and work of this brilliant, mysterious, and paradoxical gay artist. Featured are some of Bush’s best-known works along with previously unpublished drawings from the artist’s private sketchbooks, as well as excerpts from Bush’s correspondence that offer insight into a complex personality: egomaniacal artist, self-critical individual, frustrated homosexual, and acerbic social commentator. This eagerly awaited collection allows fans to rediscover Bush’s witty, beautifully executed work while exposing it to a much wider audience.

Sex by the Book: Gay Men's Tales of Lit & Lust
Edited by Kevin Bentley $15.00

Bars and chat rooms? Forget it. Colleges, libraries, and bookstores are the real hotbeds of hooking up. Many men find their first affirmation of gay sexuality on an obscure shelf at the campus library, so it’s only natural that they return to bookish spots for further research — hands-on, of course. The original memoirs and stories in Sex by the Book treat books and sex as two equally vital, interlocking obsessions and show how they can be powerful forces for fantasy, delusion, arousal, and seduction. A university student makes a sexy punk his new major in a bookstore's bathroom stall. A cultured older man brings home an abusive hustler who quotes Wittgenstein. A beautiful young man meets the author of an S/M abduction story, eager to be the butch Daddy’s next victim. These and other tales of satyriasis and bibliophilism are just the ticket for every smoldering bookworm longing to have his glasses — and pants — removed by the right guy.
