A Must-Have Book
By Cat
The much anticipated release of Leather, Life and The Pursuit of Happiness by Steve Lenius will undoubtedly be given the attention, praise, and kudos it deserves. For the past 15 years, Steve has written over 300 Leather Life articles for the Minneapolis, MN based publication Lavender. Leather, Life and The Pursuit of Happiness contains 112 Leather Life columns selected from fifteen years' worth of writings that originally appeared in Lavender and elsewhere that together, form a complete picture of the entire history of as well as contemporary aspects of the Leather SMBD Fetish Community. Included topics range from history, relationships, club life, political life, sashes, spiritual aspects, "Holiday" life, as well as many others. I would be hard pressed to find an facet of the lifestyle that is not covered within these pages and that, is no small feat!
Lavender has been fortunate indeed to have an author of such intelligence, integrity, and wit on its team as champion for the Leather Community. Over the years, Steve has become well known nationally and internationally as an expert in all facets of the Leather, Fetish, and BDMS lifestyle, and his spotless reputation is well deserved.
I find this book to be good for the collective Community as it is inclusive, draws us together, and urges us to work together for our common advancement in understanding, awareness, and acceptance. This in its truest form, is "consciousness raising through education" in its purest form.
It is my firm belief that this book, Life, Leather, and the Pursuit of Happiness, will become the forth cornerstone resource that establishes a firm foundation of the Leather Lifestyle genre. Lenius joins the likes of Guy Baldwin (Ties That Bind), and Joseph Bean (Leathersex and Leathersex Q&A) as a voice to be heard - as a voice speaking both to the Leather SMBD Fetish Community, and for that community to other communities.

A entertaining & informative must read
By Debra L. Bergman
I attended the 2010 Twin Cities Pridefest recently. While I was there I met the author of this book Steve Lenius. I found him quite charming & well spoken, which encouraged me to take a further look at his book.
I decided to purchase a copy( and had it autographed as well). I promised Steve I would leave a review here, good or bad, so here is my review.
I would happily recommend this book. It was highly entertaining, I laughed outloud at more then a few spots. It was also quite informative. As someone quite new to the leather Scene I found many things I didn't know yet. I also found it very welcoming to those, like myself, who are still learning the ropes and not always fully sure if they are doing/saying the right things for the situation.
So for those new to the community, it's a great starter read. For those who are well acquainted with the community it's a good laugh and fond rememberances of good times. Whichever side of the community you're on, it's well worth the cost. Job well done, Steve - I look forward to your next book!
