"What a glorious, colorful commemoration!"
Having seen commemorative books for every Gay Games, this one is one of the best, with comprehensive photos of every event, including athletes from around the world, plus celebrities, great action shots and crowd scenes.
A talented crew of photographers gets a great showcase in this terrific book, which rivals the Gay Games IV (New York, 1994) commemorative book in its large scale, accuracy and colorful picture-packed design.
Well done, Tracy!

The photos are of exquisite quality, there are lots more of them, and they cover the entire diversity of the particpants and their events. The participants and their events easily are 75% of the 206 glossy... More >
