Info on Boyd's books

I am a great fan of Mr. McDonald's STH [Straight to Hell] books. Unfortunately there is a gap in my collection. Of his later works I only have Smut (Fidelity Publishing).

Raunch, Lewd, and others I can't find anywhere. I was wondering if you could provide me with the complete list of STH anthologies and if you have any idea where they are still available for purchase?

I would greatly appreciate any help you could provide.

Following are the publishers and titles of Boyd's books. You might check with a well-stocked gay book shop, many of which advertise in The Guide; they sometimes find and buy used copies): Fidelity Publishing; Raunch, Lewd, and Scum; Gay Sunshine Press: Meat, Flesh, Sex, Cum, Juice, Wads, and Cream; Gay Presses of New York: Smut, Filth, and (a non-STH offering) Cruising the Movies; Bright Tyger Press: Skin.

Please note that in our case, Fidelity Publishing (publishers of The Guide), we only have Scum still available (see ad on inside back cover), and of the other presses mentioned, most are no longer in business.

Troubled by Cheryl

Congratulations to you guys for your work exposing the seamy side of the Human Rights Campaign's new executive director Cheryl Jacques ["The Trouble with Cheryl," January 2004, available at www.guidemag.com]. Absolutely brilliant.

Hairy duo 'best ever'

January 2004 is your best cover ever! Fantastic sincere smiles, great hairy natural bodies, and those cute eyes really put a warm feeling in my heart.

Where are these two from exactly? They are delicious! Maybe you could find a place to provide some info about your models.

Keep these type of photos a-comin'!

Gay-for pay reality

Regarding your January 2004 Flickers movie reviews Death by Stereotype: I know that you probably hate to be corrected, but there are plenty of hot, young, pay-for-gay men who will blow an older man for money.

That's how stereotypes get started....

B and B Q and A

Are all of your bed and breakfast listings licensed? Do you verify if a bed and breakfast in your listings is gay owned-and-operated or gay-friendly?

Licensing regulations vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction; if such info is important to you, you can certainly query any business. We do not ask whether a business is gay-owned. And anyone in the hospitality business soliciting gay clientele would, of course, be well-advised to be "gay-friendly," and our travel writers take pride in providing accurate information and descriptions. Ultimately, though, friendliness is in the mind of the "friends."
