Monday 9th October from 6:00pm to 8:00pm will see the launch of "Butt". This book is a selection of the most fantastic and the most ridiculous interviews and photos that have appeared in BUTT so far. This anthology also finally makes a lot of material from the now rare, earlier issues of BUTT available again.

The best of the first 5 years of BUTT: Adventures in 21st century gay subculture.

 

Since its first legendary issue in 2001, international quarterly magazine BUTT has been bringing together groups of young alternative gay guys all around the world, connecting fashion, sex, and art with a good sense of irony.
