An Exciting Find

 I was doing some research into gay news magazine and found this site:

https://www.houstonlgbthistory.org

Full issues have been scanned in and it is a treasure trove of history.  One particularly fun publication is the Gay Coloring Book.  The site is a bit hard to navigate but quite fun.

Scanned Out of Print Books - The Boy: A Photographic Essay, Boys will be Boys!

  I know it is hard to find some books and even harder to find them at a good price, I decided to scan a few that are notable and out of print - with lapsed copyright or with an unknown copyright because the publishing house has gone out of business.  These are essentially orphaned works.  These titles were also owned by Michael Jackson, and were indicated on a list of items that were taken from Neverland Ranch.  Fewer and fewer libraries have these titles - fewer than 20 in the U.S. as of 2026.  Find them here: The Boy - A Photographic Essay - $25.00 Authors:  Georges St. Martin, Ronald C. Nelson Book Horizons, New York 1964, 232 pages https://youtu.be/pd3n78e074c           Boys will be Boys! - $35.00 Extremely rare! Authors:  Georges St. Martin, Ronald C.

Benny Baumann

New photograph I acquired - unknown model and photographer.  The back says Benny Baumann - could be him.  With a bit of comparison, possibly around 1940s and the name could also be Ben Bauman.  A stunning photo, beautifully shot!
