Larry Townsend's Leather Ad
Archive: Images
When long ago I skimmed through The Leatherman?s Handbook I had no idea that Larry Townsend would turn out to be one of the sanest voices in the queer leather community. I never saw any of the Greenleaf Classics Leather Ad series, I?m assuming it was a specialized gay personal ad publication, whether book or magazine is hard to judge from the scan (that I ran across I can?t remember where).

I haven?t seen a Greenleaf book since they originally came out. The ones I remember were a mix of na?ve romance and sex. Being a naively romantic, just out young queer I thought they were pretty charming. My memory says they had full color covers which doesn?t match the cover reproductions I?ve seen on the web.
Though I don?t (yet) watch porn I do drop by your site on and off because of the healthy enthusiasm you bring to your own enjoyment of it.

Please keep your comment on topic.
I'm a happily gay atheist. Homophobic, racist comments and conversion attempts are deleted.
Disagreement is fine but hate speech won't be tolerated. Even if you share my prejudices I'd rather you not insult other people who leave comments here.
This is a personal hobby and shouldn't be confused with a more general sort of public forum or chatroom. you'd like to know more about me check about page.
Thanks, Richard

I can?t tell you much about this particular book, other than it was a novel, in 2 parts, in fact - Leather Ad V1: M and V2: S. But this particular edition, this oversized paperback form Greenleaf is quite interesting. They are all exactly 195 pages, measure 7-3/4 x 5-1/4, and you actually flip the book over from the cover, and begin reading from the back cover into the book. I bought about a dozen some moths ago, and while selling some, was wise enough to keep a few, including another one from Townsend, THE GOOSER.
