This book was very helpful for our purposes, and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn more about the Leather Contest world. It is a very easy read, and the author is very easy to relate to.

As a contestant, I found that reading this book was a great way to familiarize oneself with the rigors of being in a contest, and it also helped me understand what goes into producing a contest (and just how much hard work goes on behind the scenes). Guy's book helped me to do particularly well in the interview portion of my contest. Highly recommended.

All materials here are fine and well but the most important thing to ask is why do these things? Do they prove anything? Why wasn't the question asked and answered in the book about these events serving to promote a sense of DRAG in the gay leather/fetish/bdsm community? The question is always asked but no one answers them. A fair research and a fair update is probably in order -- otherwise this book is useful to line a kitty litter box or a birdcage and nothing more.

The leather contest has sprung up everywhere it seems and the number of title holders is amazing. Baldwin gives us background on the history of and reasons for such contests as well as practical advice for judges, contestants, and hosts. Some of the information is repeated from one section to the next just in case you have one role and are only reading that chapter. But how close is leather to BDSM in these contests? This was the only question I still had by the end of the book. I strongly recommend reading this before you enter, host, judge or even just watch a leather contest.

This is THE gold standard of titleholder contests - There is no other. If any contest producer, prospective titleholder or judge wants to know without any doubt what will happen at an ethically-run contest, this is where you can gain wisdom from the best source we've got. I buy bunches of these every year and donate them to titleholder contestants all over the USA, because the more that folks know what is expected in the best-possible circumstances, the easier it will be to make the contests better each year, until they reach Guy's standards.
