Description

You may not know the name Touko Laaksonen, but you’ve probably seen the work of legendary gay icon Tom of Finland. The ultimate collector’s edition, this hefty tome includes more than 1,000 images of incredibly buff men, but with insightful essays by film director John Waters and author Camille Paglia on the range of Tom’s artistic talent, which included tender tributes to men stricken with AIDS. It’s a true time capsule of an era when homosexuality went from out of the closet and onto the dance floor. 

Dian Hanson, John Waters, Camille Paglia, Todd Oldham, Armistead Maupin, Edward Lucie-Smith
