Of Men, Ropes & Remembrance is a tantalizing collection of L. T. stories that he originally wrote for Bound & Gagged Magazine, and which were first published between 1993 and 1997. These short pieces are basically written in a lighter mode than many of L. T.'s other tales, mostly because they are presented as basically true accounts by the man telling the story. A few are actually based on fact, but the author now admits even these have been considerably en-hanced by his ever lusty imagination. We are thus treated to an action-packed collection of incredibly arousing short stories, plus a couple that were deemed a bit heavy for the B&G format and hence never previously published. The book starts with some comments by Bob Wingate, founder and publisher of Bound & Gagged, and concludes with some correspondence - to and from the author - concerning the proper definition of slave.

Under the guise of relating "true" accounts, Townsend presents us with 16 pieces of SM fiction he published in a five year stretch of time for "Bound & Gagged" magazine. If you are familiar with Townsend's work and enjoy it, then this is a great collection to own. However, Townsend's writing is on the rougher side of SM so if non-consensuality, under-age, risking, or dirty sex is a turn off to you, steer clear. I really wish the collection had an index of the stories so you could find that "really cool piece" more easily.
