61 Pimlico

Summary: Fun erotic fiction presented as fact
Review: A clever idea: Bill Jay claims to have discovered the long lost journal (and a handful of photographs) by a troubled Victorian photographer.

The book is fun, quick racy reading, and Jay should be commended for the (almost) convincing presentation.

Summary: Pleasant erotic novel, presented as lost "Journal"
Review: Bill Jay writes in the style of Victorian England, of the tribulations of erotic photographer Henry Hayler, an historical figure of interest. The book goes to some length to present itself as an actual reproduction of an actual journal by Hayler, yet numerous errors in the writing (and even some photos!) point to the lack of research conducted by true author, Bill Jay. The photos are of fairly good quality, the book is quite well printed. The story itself is maddening at times as the errors make immersion in the novel impossible.
