From the inner flap: "Whether or not they recognize the name David Hurles, several generations of gay men can instantly identify a photograph by Old Reliable, the pseudonymous brand name his work was credited to. The name Old Reliable conjures two words: rough trade-and an immediate guilty frisson of edgy arousal and fear. A David Hurles photo always takes the viewer straight into the lion's den, and the lion, usually a twentysomething, tattooed street tough, has an upthrust erection and a bad attitude. For over forty years, David Hurles documented in his work the exotic and forbidden world of male hustlers, displaying his unique talent for provoking and capturing raw emotional responses from these sometimes dangerous men who lived on the fringes of society. Ubiquitous fixtures in gay publications in the '70s and '80s, his photographs continue to exercise their mystique and enjoy a strong following today.... The photographs in this volume were selected, arranged, and commented on by REX, the iconoclastic homoerotic artist whose own career has coincided with that of David Hurles, drawing on his quarter-century acquaintance with the photographer. From an archive of over 25,000 photos, REX has personally selected the very best examples of Hurles's work."
