Title: great concept, but ultimately unrealized
Review: ...i waited a whole year to see the fantastic photos described by the editor, so the disappointment was a crushing blow -- let me be frank: this book does not contain the photos described. nor does it teach me anything new about homoerotic desire ... nor does it's photographic content approach the quality of it's scholarly writing. unfortunately many scholars dream great concepts but don't follow through in their practical attempts at creating what they've described. lucie-smith is a fantastic writer, but he admits in the introduction that he isn't a trained photographer...
