Saslow (art history, City U. of New York) ranges from the dawn of time to the present and from Europe and North America to China and Australia. He presents and discusses visual images relating to gay men and lesbians, but not always related to sex itself; the Stonewall riot and the AIDS quilt for example are represented. A section of 32 color plates accompanies many monochrome reproductions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
