Butt Book - Reviews
"If you like your porn pink and thick, then maybe their new book will interest you. Published by TASCHEN the dirty duo have teamed up with Wolfgang Tillmans to create a compilation of the first 17 issues of Butt and called it, The Best of Butt. Plugged (pah) with photographs from Inez van Lamsweerde, Terry Richardson, Alasdair McClellan and other trendy types, plus interviews with all manner of top ranking fashion dudes like, Marc Jacobs, Hedi Slimane and Karl Lagerfeld. There ain`t no Butt about it, Porn is cool." Ten Magazine, LondonUnited Kingdom |

"Inzwischen gilt die Zeitschrift als printgewordene Hippness, die nicht zuletzt aus dem Gegensatz von Glamour und Schmuddeligkeit resultiert … Die alte Binsenweisheit vom Unperfekten, in dem sich erst die wahre Schönheit offenbart, findet hier ihre Erfüllung."Berliner Zeitung, BerlinGermany |

"Jetzt erscheint das BUTT Book, ein Sammelband der ersten 17 Hefte, und wer eine Ausgabe verpasst hat, kann mit diesem Band sein Archiv aufstocken oder die Zeit vergessen über Interviews mit Strichern, Designern, Künstlern und einem nackten Bernhard Willhelm auf dem Cover von Ausgabe 1."Tip Berlin, BerlinGermany |

"On a déjà dit tout le bien qu`on pense du fanzine interlope et néerlandais Butt. Les éditions TASCHEN ont eu l`excellente idée de compiler les meilleurs moments des dix-sept premiers numéros dans un imposant Butt Book. On retrouve tout ce qui fait le sel de ce magazine à part: des interviews en longueur sur des sujets de fond comme « la sexualité entre bears » ou des rencontres avec des personnalités chouchous comme Gus Van Sant, John Waters, Rufus Wainwright ou Jeremy Scott. Avec un petit faible pour l`interview interminable de Christopher Ciccone, frère de qui-vous-savez (un indice: elle va parfois faire du shopping d`enfant au Malawi)."Les Inrockuptibles, ParisFrance |

"Finally!!! BUTT`s founding editors, Jop van Bennekom and Gert Jonkers, have compiled a ‘ best of` ` collection of those impossible to find early issues. If you don`t know BUTT, get ready to take some ‘ adventures in 21st century gay subculture.` It is perfectly reproduced by TASCHEN right down to the pink paper and six by nine format."Box Magazine, San FranciscoUnited States |

"It seems like just yesterday when we were passing around the first slim pink-paged, dog-eared issue with a few close friends and fellow discriminating smuthouds; now the first five years of BUTT magazine have been collected by the fine folks at TASCHEN into what promises to be the must-have bedside book of the holiday season . . .We recommend ordering two copies just in case your pals borrow yours; we guarantee you`ll have a hard time getting it back."Fleshbot.com, New YorkUnited States |

"Since 2001, Butt, the quarterly magazine for the contemporary homosexual man, has been putting « the sex back into homosexuality ». It celebrates its fifth anniversary with the launch of the Butt Book, published by TASCHEN. Butt`s inspired editors Gert Jonkers and Jop Van Bennekom have put together this compendium of the candid interviews, true encounters, raunchy barefaced cheek, and frank conversations the magazine has published over the last 5 years. We love the trademark pink paper, Bruce Benderson interviews, Wolfgang Tillman`s photos, plus the hundreds of juicy conversations with the likes of John Waters, Michael Stipe, Marcelo Krasicic or the sex-slave toilet cleaner."gogoparis.comFrance |

"Gert Jonkers und Jop van Bennekom bringen seit fünf Jahren das Butt-Magazin heraus. Das Heft, gedruckt auf rosa Papier, ist nicht nur legendär, weil Wolfgang Tillmans Fotos beisteuert und Bruce LaBruce Interviews führt. Kultstatus gewann das Heft durch Fotos, die es sonst kaum zu sehen gibt: dicke, haarige Männer zum Beispiel. Wie das BUTT-Buch, das zum fünfjährigen Jubiläum jetzt erscheint, beweist, wollen Art Director Jop und Journalist Gert aus Amsterdam das subversive Erbe der Homokultur am Leben erhalten."Männer aktuell, BerlinGermany |

"At 560 pages, Butt Book (TASCHEN) is no small endeavour, yet it succeeds in living up to the reputation that preceded it, while keeping the homemade, and certainly homo-made, appeal of the original. Complete with previously unpublished material and reader submissions, lots of grainy pre and post-coital self-portraits -from all over the world, the tome delivers precisely what the subtitle promises."The Independent, LondonUnited Kingdom |
|
"Butt Book is the engrossing, must-read anthology compiled from the last five years of Dutch-based Butt magazine. There are juicy confessionals by the likes of Gus Van Sant, Michael Stipe, Bruce LaBruce and John Waters as well as nudey pictures and general reader rudery. Shocking! For the art fag perv in all of us."Gay Times, LondonUnited Kingdom |
