This book gives the reader historical background and a clear understanding of what makes up modern Leather culture: thought, art, ritual, fashion, public figures, legislation, and literature.The Leather & BDSM Handbook is designed to provide a foundational understanding of the Leather culture to help not only newcomers to the scene, but also experienced Leatherfolk who are adjusting to the Leather community's growth and development in new directions.

Essentially, it provides the tools, insight, and understanding you will need to succeed in the world of Leather.

Book excerpt: In the past when a potential leatherboy has asked me, where do I start I had to guide them to a dozen publications and even then the information was incomplete. Now the answer is simple, The leatherboy Handbook! This book is a wonderful resource for anyone interested in the "boy subculture." Vincent Andrews draws on his own experiences in the leather community as well as some of the best source material available to create what will surely become the companion volume to Larry Townsend's Leatherman's Handbook. In a clear and concise voice with numerous references, "boy vince" has created a goldmine for the budding leatherboy, no matter what his gender. Most importantly, this book explains much of the "why" behind the boy experience, and that is the key to its value. I heartily recommend this book for both boys and Daddys, subs and Doms.
