Summary: Book Description
Review: Tales is a powerful book both in words and pictures in which Roffman sensuously catures twelve of the most beautiful young men in the world. By telling us his realtionship with each Roffman then completes the story in his photography allowing us not only to see these boys' outside beauty but also that which lies within. A masterpiece.

Summary: A superb erotic documentary
Review: Tales pushes the borders of erotic photo journalism. Roffman roams with his camera in the netherworld of twenty-something sexuality. From San Francisco to Austin, Roffman reports and often instigates as he documents boyz in first bloom. It's a technique he unveiled in the biographical "Three," published in 1996. Now, Roffman expands his coverage to twelve young men, as personally engaging as they are telegenic.

Summary: A glorious erotic collection - set to make your mind sizzle!
Review: This book is a soft-cover collection of superb photographs in B&W. It is large, some 12"x9", giving plenty of space for large detailed prints.

It's difficult to find words enough to praise this collection of Roffman's work. His models are simply magical (well all but one!), and their sensitivity, shyness and youth simply flood from the page to your eye and then to your brain.

I suspect that many guys will simply absorb themselves in the pictures and wish they could dive in and hug many of these boys - and boys most of them are. No hardened, pumped-up, muscle-Marys here; simply a collection of great boy-next-door types.

Tha accompanying text gives context to the models and the photographs; Roffman says that he loves Brian, the first profile portrait we see. Well, so do I! He just too perfect and is, for me, the very best of what is a superb collection of pretty boys.

Highly recommended for its soul, its insight, its quality, and for its presentation of first-class eye candy.
