Editorial Review

Don't be put off by the goofy subtitle to this rich but meandering account of Greek history and myth as it touches on Mykonos, a picturesque island that had only a small part to play in ancient history, and its tiny and deserted neighboring isle, Delos, a shrine for centuries, where the god Apollo was supposed to have been born and which is still studded with the white marble ruins of temples. Although Delos is now only a curiosity for the history buff or the archeologist, Mykonos ranks among the most-visited resorts in the world, with its long beaches, spare, scrubby hillsides, and stunning views over the Aegean. It is certainly among the top 10 gay vacation spots, and it was as tourists that James Davidson and his friends first discovered the island and fell under its spell. Read more

An essential little book IF you are traveling to Mykonos...
I wanted to love this book.Like so many others I long to experience the magic of Mykonos and opted for this book as a surrogate.It is well written, but it is more for the reader interested in Greek history than those who expect to discover the essence of an island, a haven, a fantasy. Highly recommended as a suitcase tuck if you're planning a vacation to the Greek Islands, but if you crave the flavor of the place this is a disappointingly dry read.

Mykonos & Much, Much More!
I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy this book, but I'm now convinced I loved it.James Davidson, that handsome, brilliant young classical scholar from London has given us a small book (5 � in.by 7 �, & 151 Pages).However, this book may be small in size and page number but is full ofgreat information.It's part travelogue, classical history, mythology, andpersonal essay about the island of Mykonos.Mykonos is among the top 10gay vacation spots today.Davidson gives us his impressions and feelings,as well as a wonderful history of this beautiful island.Read more

you must buy this book!!
wonderfully detailed and expressive drawings paired with intelligent, articulate, original (and funny!!) characters. could you expect anything less from an oberlin grad?

The experiment in "Mo"nogamy continues...
Bechdel continues to send the reader to the lighter side of lesbian culture. In this collection we watch Mo, the Heroine, in relationships, at work and play (i.e. "whine and kvetch) ... Read more

Worldwide Guide to Naked Places, 5th edition
I purchased this book in the spring of 2002 and continue to refer to it whenever I travel.Thanks to its detailed information, I was easily able to find a spectacular nude beach in Nova Scotia during my summer vacation last year.The book's format is alphabetical by location, and lists clothing-optional accomodations, clubs, beaches, etc. worldwide. There are also lots of [nice] colour photos throughout, many of which are taken from Naked Magazine's files.As a gay male traveler and naturist, I highly recommend this book.

Much prefered 'Naked Places'
Not enough info and when called for help at Nazca plains, got a very rude operator.

Exceptional quality and timely information
When i first picked up this guide, i was a bit skeptical at paying the $19.95 cover price... but let me say, i am sure glad i did!!!Read more

Intelligent, insightful, fun look at travel for women.
It's not just a book for lesbian travel. There are great restaurants for everybody. The author clearly loves to eat fun things. I love Lori Hobkirk's descriptions about each individual town and city. Makes me want to go there. ... Read more
