I've had a chance to look at this boo now, at some leisure. I'm not going to buy it. Two reasons. The first is that it's £26. Or "a lot". The second is thatitls filled with pseudo-erudite crap about the beauty of youths.

A lot of paintings. The best pictures are the cover picture (below) and the David Cassidy Rolling Stone cover. Then more paintings.

Interestingly there are only two pictures of circumcised penises in the book (though it says there is only one!). A coffee table book, not a rivetting read.

The cover pic? Well it's the first picture of Bjorn not looking girlie or androgynous. This pic looks as though he's in makeup. The full size one on the cover doesn't. A real boy, and rather pleasing to behold.
