Not every gay man can afford, or even wants, to pack up the suntan lotion and shorts for an exotic vacation so the
Gay Times Great Britain and Ireland guide is perfect for those who want to explore Gay Britannia. Written by John Szponarski, the book covers the gay scene in the country's most popular cities such as London and Manchester, and also takes in the new gay scenes exploding out of the depths of rural England too. Bars, clubs, pubs, saunas, hotels and cruising grounds are all covered here in a lively and down-to-earth style. Szponarski has really done his homework and the information is as up to date as you will find. There's also more than a little sense of humour to this guide, making it a good read even if you aren't planning on going anywhere just yet. But if you are planning to sample the now diverse gay culture on your own doorstep, this is the most important item you should pack. This is the first in a new series of travel guides that plan to cover most of the world's gay hot spots and if the quality of this guide is maintained it looks as if Spartacus may have some competition. --
