Las Vegas and Chicago: Nazca Plains and The Leather Archives & Museum, 2004.
A detailed year-by-year history of the International Mr. Leather Competition. Australia represented from the second ever championship, Patrick Brooks, being the winner of IML 1980. Controversially, Brooks and his sponsor mistakenly thought being the winner gave them the right to host IML 1981 in Australia, though this was put down and the event continued in Chicago to this day. Despite the legal hoo-ha, with thanks to the gay paper, The Sydney Star, Mr. Australia Leather continued and sent a representative the following year, however Brooks never showed to take his place as a judge.Australia continued to send representatives to the competition many times over the years, notably with two second places, being Brent Lacey of Mr. Laird Leather Image, Melbourne in 1993, and Andrew Lennon, Mr. Mephisto of Mephisto Leather 1998. This copy double inscribed by co-founder of the championship, Chuck Renslow, both inside the book and to the cardboard shipping carton. Numbered edition of an unknown quantity, of which this copy is number 66.
