Review # 1 was written on 2020-01-26 00:00:00 Rick Mann A gay slang dictionary from the early 70s. While much of the terminology is now dated, there are quite a few terms still in use. Many words have very amusing quotes giving the context of the use of words. Even includes some Polari words (see more recent books on Polari, British gay slang, for more on that topic.)

Review # 2 was written on 2017-03-31 00:00:00 Jim Reid This is a microcosm of 1970s gay liberation in the UK. The book is hindered by being such a communal project, but also rather glorious for that same reason. These selections are a testament to the spirit of the time; to the diversity of ideas which often conflicted with one another, but which were all put forward in an earnest search for utopia.
