Imagine a world before the Internet, where there was hardly any form of communication amongst the crossdressing/transvestite community. All was not completely lost however. One single light in the UK during the 1980's and 90's was Swish Publications's "World of Transvestism" (or WOTV as it became abbreviated). A successor to the much earlier "Tranz" magazine, WOTV was published monthly, inside was an "Aladin's Cave" of letters, photos (black and white), occasionally stories and illustrations. The publishing quality was quite poor and WOTV was not cheap (I think it was £6 when I first started to acquire my own personal copies).The cover usually graced some of the more photogenic girls, many of whom I am pleased to say are on Flickr. In view of their privacy I shall not post those, but I would like to share this cover showing an example of the sorts of illustrations that were often printed.
Stockists were few in fact in my area there was only one newsagent that stocked maybe one or two copies a month, but one could travel to Swish's main store in Greek Street London, to purchase missing copies or "bargain bundles".
Sadly I now longer have the magazines, but I did scan all the covers and most of the images of some of the girls from those magazines. If you did appear and would either like a scan, or have no objection to your cover (or image) being published here, by all means get in touch. The issues I have scans from are below.

Old school books and children's stories ...
So many books, so little time...DX Let's see...I haven't read 8 of those books so far. Note to self: Make more time for reading.
Most of the single shelves are photographed individually here on Flickr. This doesn't include any yearbooks from High School, or Baby Books from my family, nor most of my children's books, although there are a few of the latter.
This is from the books not bombs protest last week in Seattle. There weren't nearly as many people as I was hoping but anyway. You're looking at the city hall plaza and fountain with the King County courthouse and the Smith Tower in the background.
First day out with a camera in months, forced indoors due to relentless rain. Stumbled on an exhibition of Martin Parr's photo books, so here's a photo of some of the photo books.
Cuteness I couldn't resist

Ladies' choir in Childbury takes place during WW2 when the men are at war the women keep the loca choir going. Was ok , but not as good as I thought it would be.
Whispering shadows is very good and set in China. I've got the continuation waiting to be read too.
Chinese Cinderella is a book for younger people but I enjoyed it a lot.
