Item description from seller

First edition. VG in like DJ. Small damp stain on the inside back of the jacket that slightly affects the book. One small, closed tear on the front lower corner of the jacket. Better than it sounds. Positive Image: A Portrait of Gay America is a significant work by photographer Stephen Stewart, first published in 1985 by William Morrow and Company. This 191-page hardcover book offers an intimate glimpse into the lives of prominent gay men and women, capturing the essence of the gay liberation movement through a series of compelling portraits and photographs. The collection not only showcases Stewart's artistic vision but also serves as a historical document reflecting the diversity and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community during a pivotal era. This book is an essential addition to any LGBTQ+ history, photography, or social activism collection.

Store description

My name is Jim Camp, and I own and operate the synaesthesia press. First and foremost, the synaesthesia press is a very small, very independent publishing house specializing in broadsides and chapbooks letterpress printed in a small run. Authors and artists past published include Tosh Berman, Tim O’Brien, Barry Gifford, Charles Bukowski, and Charles Plymell, among others. As a bookseller, I offer a variety of inventory -- I especially love stuff that is considered generally subversive; for example, anything by or about Beatniks, Outlaws, Perverts, Weirdos, and Outsiders; good literary fiction (especially "dirty" and / or forgotten titles by forgotten authors) and almost anything by or about Bukowski. I love photography, especially found amateur snapshots and professionally made vintage photographic prints; little mags, zines, photo books, art books and Artists Books; and, finally, anything smutty or sleazy or erotic or cheesecake-related vintage publications, photos or ephemera. Thanks!…
