Read MoreJoseph W. Bean
Las Vegas and Chicago: Nazca Plains and The Leather Archives & Museum, 2004.A detailed year-by-year history of the International Mr. Leather Competition. Australia represented from the second ever championship, Patrick Brooks, being the winner of IML 1980. Controversially, Brooks and his sponsor mistakenly thought being the winner gave them the right to host IML 1981 in Australia, though this was put down and the event continued in Chicago to this day. Despite the legal hoo-ha, with thanks to the gay paper, The Sydney Star, Mr. Australia Leather continued and sent a representative the following year, however Brooks never showed to take his place as a judge.Australia continued to send representatives to the competition many times over the years, notably with two second places, being Brent Lacey of Mr. Laird Leather Image, Melbourne in 1993, and Andrew Lennon, Mr. Mephisto of Mephisto Leather 1998. This copy double inscribed by co-founder of the championship, Chuck Renslow, both inside the book and to the cardboard shipping carton. Numbered edition of an unknown quantity, of which this copy is number 66.

Read MoreTed Gott; Angela Hesson; Myles Russell-Cook; Pip Wallis; Meg Slater
Melbourne: Council of Trustees of the National Gallery of Victoria, 2022.“Queer: Stories from the NGV Collection is more than an exhibition catalogue. This 628-page publication expands on the themes explored in the NGV’s Queer exhibition to document the queer past, present and future of the NGV collection. More than 60 essays from authors with comprehensive knowledge of the historical and contemporary subjects encompassed by the NGV’s Queer project are presented alongside stunning reproductions of more than 200 works from the NGV collection, either by queer artists or engaging with queer issues. The essays in Queer: Stories from the NGV Collection explore the history of LGBTQ+ activism; the creation of queer spaces and communities; queerness as an artistic strategy; the expression of love, desire and sensuality; queer aesthetics; and the concepts of camp and the fantastic.” (publisher’s blurb) This extensive monograph catalogue sold out in the year of publication and has not been reprinted.

A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGraham Willett; Angela Bailey; Timothy W. Jones; Sarah Rood
Melbourne: Australian Queer Archives and Heritage Victoria, 2021.“A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects was commissioned by Heritage Victoria to highlight the rich, diverse and unique history of queer communities in Victoria and to demonstrate how these communities are reflected in the places, objects and landscapes that surround us. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQ+) people are, and always have been, an integral part of Victorian social, political and cultural life. However, the experiences and voices of queer communities have not commonly been included in the historical record and, consequently, queer heritage has remained largely invisible. This report identifies 100 places, objects and collections that have specific and unique meaning to Victorias contemporary queer communities. Identifying and exploring the meaning of these places, objects and collections to members of the LGBTIQ+ communities who have suggested them adds depth and richness to Victorias history and heritage. It also makes visible the stories and experiences of communities that have, until recently, been ignored and at times actively persecuted.” (publisher’s blurb)

Ah! Nana (Complete Set, 9 Issues)
AU$1,200.00 Read MoreAdd to cartJanic Guillerez; Marjorie Alessandrini; Anne Delobel; et al.
Paris: Les Humanoides Associes, 1976-1978.Complete set of the French women’s comic magazine Ah ! Nana which evolved out of and was published by the comic book publishing house of Moebius (Jean Giraud), Jean-Pierre Dionnet, Philippe Druillet, and Bernard Farkas, Les Humanoides Associes. During a staff lunch of their magazine Metal Hurlant (the original of the English adaptation Heavy Metal), Jean-Pierre suggested to the women present (including his wife Janic Guillerez who became chief editor of Ah! Nana) to create a women’s magazine and feminist newspaper. Ah!Nana ran for nine issues, each with its own theme, coming to a short end following the magazine being banned to minors after the publication of the eighth issue devoted to homosexuality. This led the editorial team to go all in on the ninth and final issue, devoting it to incest, leading to the French censorship Commission banning the publication, labelling it pornographic.
