A proud history This is a beautiful book commemorating 50 years since Stonewall and it is interesting to see how far we have come (or haven’t!). Fred McDarrah published a book 25 years ago to celebrate that anniversary and this is a reset version with some new photographs.

Not quite sure what I expected, but I had hoped for more information other than simply images. This isn’t dissing the author/publisher, but I expected text and pictures.

Maybe I’d have appreciated this more had the subjects been more prominent, and more info about them given.ARC courtesy of OR books and NetaGalley, for my reading pleasure.
