Pseudonymously revealing account. " Even psychiatrists and psychologists who have written 'authoritatively' on the subject seem to know almost nothing about what it is like to live as a homosexual in America's middle-class society. ... The events described herein really happened and none of the characters has been invented, But all of the names have been changed. Even my own." - Preface. Surprisingly, remarkably scarce.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
