"Cinco años bien merecen un libro, editado por TASCHEN, Butt Book recoge lo mejor de los hasta ahora 17 números de la revista holandesa BUTT. Erotismo homo, buenas entrevistas y una colección de fotos sin desperdicio. Ideal para recuperar algo del material de los primeros números, hoy ya descatalogados."Metal, MadridSpain |

"Butt Book: The Best of Butt Magazine brings together the most unusual, erotic, twisted and funny articles, photo editorials, and stories from the last five years of Butt. . . If you like amateur porn, shock erotica, or bizarre tricks of the penis, you`ll love Butt."Edge New York, New YorkUnited States |

"Pour fêter le cinquantième anniversaire du magazine gay hollandais underground Butt, TASCHEN propose de retrouver une compilation de leurs plus fantasmagories interviews et de leurs plus ridicules photos dans cette véritable ontologie. Beaucoup d`artistes, de pop stars, de cinéastes, d`acteurs, d`auteurs et de photographes y ont participé ou ont été interviewés: Bruce LaBruce, Gus van Sant, Edmund White, Rufus Wainwright, Paul Rutherford (Frankie Goes to Hollywood), Christopher Ciccone (frère de Madonna), John Waters, Peter Berlin, Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), Martin Degville (Sigue Sigue Sputnik)…mais aussi beaucoup de gays anonymes. Des photos très hot tout au long de ces pages roses!"Tribu Move, ParisFrance |

"Celebrating their fifth year, the founding editors have now put together a ‘best of` compilation of the first 17 issues of BUTT. Huge but modestly priced, it will really put you in the know on what`s happening on the cutting edge of gay culture. Included are photos and interviews with filmmakers like Bruce LaBruce, John Waters, sex icon Peter Berlin and Gus van Sant; writers like Bruce Benderson and Edmund White; musicians like singer-songwriter Stephen Merrit, Rufus Wainwright and R.E.M vocalist Michael Stipe. . .That adds up to a lot of great, collectible material, yet a number of the original BUTT magazine issues are already hard to find. That`s why the Butt Book is both important and fun."Torso, New YorkUnited States |

"OK, how many of you guys cruising right now would be happy to hook up with a tight, sexy and undeniably pink package of pleasure? Wait—did I mention that though it might be a little package, it packs quite a punch? Within its smallish, unassuming marshmallow exterior lie unimaginable pleasures. Sounds like an exaggeration, I know, but we are talking about BUTT here. . . In case you`re not already completely intrigued, TASCHEN has compiled a collection of BUTT`s images and articles from the magazine`s first five years."Gay.com, San FranciscoUnited States |

"Whether you live in a small town or big city, if you don`t have a really good magazine store near you it`s likely you`ve never seen Butt magazine. Since its first issue in 2001, this international quarterly has been praised for ‘bringing back the sex in homosexuality,` while focusing not just on sex but on all areas of alternative gay art and fashion. Celebrating their fifth year, the founding editors have now put together a ‘best of` compilation of the first 17 issues. Huge but modestly priced, it will really put you in the know on what`s happening on the cutting edge of gay culture."Mandate, New YorkUnited States |

"TASCHEN, publisher of fine books, has released the Butt Book, an anthology which celebrates Butt magazine`s fifth anniversary by compiling some of the most ‘fantastic` and ‘ridiculous` interviews and photos from the publication`s first five years. Herein you`ll find such familiar names as Edmund White, Rufus Wainwright, John Waters, and Gus van Sant. You`ll also find some photos that confirm all the awful things those snoopy family members always suspected about your lifestyle."OutSmart, DallasUnited States |

"Im TASCHEN-Verlag erscheint jetzt eine Auswahl mit Interviews und Fotostrecken aus allen Butt-Ausgaben – wie das einzelne Heft ein Traum in Blassrosa … Im Gegensatz zu den handelsüblichen Hochglanz-Postillen interessiert sich Butt für das Leben des Durchschnittsmannes: Hier finden sich Männer mit Bart, Bauch und Brille gut aufgehoben, aber auch alte Schwule. Sex und Kultur stehen im Vordergrund, womit Butt eine eigene Ästhetik an der Schnittstelle von Kunstmarkt und Pornografie geschaffen hat … Butt illustriert eine Schwulen-Kulturgeschichte von unten – genauso exhibitionistisch wie zurückgenommen und zum Schreien komisch."Der Tagesspiegel, BerlinGermany |

"Schon alleine das so weise wie humorvolle, mit ähnlich (un)vermeidlichen Wortspielen verzierte Vorwort von Bruce LaBruce würde den Kauf des Butt Book mehr als rechtfertigen. Die Tatsache, dass man es hier mit der fast sechshundert Seiten starken, altrosaroten Best-of-Compilation in gebundener Buchform des wohl besten schwulen Fanzines der Neuzeit zu tun hat, dürfte aber wohl ausreichen, um sich das Coffeetable-Buch des Jahres zu besorgen … Es ein über alle sexuellen Konnotierungen weit hinausragendes Spiegelbild kontemporärer und internationaler Popkultur zu nennen, ist … nicht weniger richtig. Ein Jammer, dass es das nicht von und für Mädchen gibt."Spex, KölnGermany |
