About meLibrarian by day, kinky cataloger by night. My many hobbies include collecting books, art, objects, movies, and ephemera related to the early development of sexual minority communities, with a focus on Leather, BDSM, and fetish.

About my libraryThe books listed here are a portion of my "Forbidden Library," which takes up one bedroom of my house (another library/bedroom contains all the safe-for-relatives-to-see books). Check out my website for more items in my "forbidden" collection.

hmmm...you never worked down near Houston, did you? i worked at a public library with a gentleman reference librarian named Jess. it would be pretty awesome if you were the same person. anyhow, i stopped by to say- hello, we share many of the same interests, and i work with irving klaw's grandson.

Hey, that's a *really* cool library.. I wonder if we have any good BDSM books in Israel. Well, am going to go through your website now. :)

I love your icon. It reminds me I need to get around to "The Pleasures of the Torture Chamber", in order to review. Welcome to the group!- BW

*chuckle* When we moved this summer and used the largest room in the house as a library I put in a "Restricted Stack" - a bookshelf with glass doors and a lock on it...
