5.0 out of 5 stars All you could ask for!, June 9, 2000
This review is from: Gay Planet: All Things for All (Gay) Men (Hardcover)
Here's a book with the subtitle "All Things for All Gay Men," and they mean it. This is a great guide or information source for all gay men whether you been out a long time or have just "come out." I think every topic of Gay life is covered, including gay politics, gay games, gay rights, gay icons, gay travel, gay history, gay circuit parties, gay pride events, gay health, and gay carnivals. As an added bonus there are dozens of pictures to enjoy. Eric Chaline went to a lot of trouble to compile all this information and certainly did a wonderful job. It's not a quite a gay encyclopedia but a good source of information in a 157 pages. Its fun and interesting. I highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why was this book published ?, April 5, 2007
This review is from: Gay Planet: All Things for All (Gay) Men (Hardcover)
This is an over-extended magazine article in hardcover. It has nothing new to say, says it in a languid and laborious manner, and frankly should not have been published. It has no resale value used as the prices show and is remaindered everywhere. My copy is off to the recycling bin.

This book is totally vacuous

With the eve of Pride 2000 a mere week or so away, this is a perfect book to PUMP up the gay spirit throughout the world. Its sleek and shiny, hard bodied and toned... egads, what more could the gay male populus want? Not sure if this is the one for you..... finger its spine and browse its awesome colured pages and then tell me you weren't moved!
