New York, NY, U.S.A.: Broadway Books, 1997. Laermer has moved from writing books for gay and lesbian travelers to authoring a virtual travel guide to the Internet, written in a hip, conversational style that uses graphic language. Laermer covers ways to connect to the Internet, including online services like America Online and cybercafes as well as ISPs. He also goes into detail about lesbian- and gay-related Usenet groups and Internet Relay Chat. This book helps the socially as well as technologically shy with directions on how to flirt online and how to meet and mingle, and it even includes a chapter devoted to guiding readers to gay porn. While running the risk of being already out of date, Gay & Lesbian On-line (LJ 1/97), the only other book on this subject, might be more suitable and useful for libraries already worried about the Internet and sex. Libraries not facing such problems will find this guide informative and up-to-date. 308 pages. Front cover top right corner edge & spine rear… Read More
