WHAT THE REVIEWERS HAVE SAID: "Hurray for 'Gay Hollywood' ... excellent and long overdue!" --Quentin Crisp "I don't know which is more refreshing -- Steve Stewart's willingness to praise 'Making Love' or his willingness to dislike 'Taxi Zum Klo.' The book is honest, not trendy." -- Joe Bob Briggs, The Movie Channel "The author has done a good job in mixing intelligent commentary on the films with a certain amount of 'camp'" -- Anthony Slide, Classic Images "This guide provides splendid, well-written and entertaining information on over 1,000 alphabetically listed films ... Highly recommended for inveterate film and video fans." --Myriad Network News ISBN# 0-9625277-5-0 352 pages, photos, index Film/Reference/Gay/Lesbian/Transgender Published June 1994 Suggested retail price: $15.95 Distributor: Samuel French Trade 7623 Sunset Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90046 Telephone: 213/876-0570 Fax: 213/876-6822 Jim Fox or Gwen Feldman Wholesalers:Ingram and Baker & Taylor Distributed nationally and internationally, _Gay Hollywood_ can be purchased for $15.95 in bookstores, or directly from the publisher, COMPANION PUBLICATIONS, PO Box 2575, Laguna Hills, California 92654-2575, by including $2.50 postage and handling.
