Condition: Fine Flyleaf and inside back cover have erased pencil inscriptions. Jacket and pages show slight shelf wear, but otherwise as new. Content: Playland is a revised and expanded British edition of For Money or Love by Robin Lloyd, published in New York by Vanguard Press Inc (1976). "Boy prostitution is a taboo subject. Only occasionally does a major scandal or a television like Johnny Go Home uneasily stir the public conscience. Yet, as Mr Lloyd reveals, both here and in the United States, boy whores present a major social problem. "Mr Lloyd has pursued his investigations in London, Bradford, Manchester, Leicester and Brighton, and has received help and advice from probation officers, court officials, solicitors and police officers. "He explains how boys come into prostitution and how they operate, looking for money and for affection. His investigation discusses the background forces - parents, school, environment - which drive the boys on to the streets and he shows that they have become a deeply disturbing factor of metropolitan life. "This book may offend - there is sex and perversion, people who don't give a damn and who are out to make a fast buck. But there are others who do care, who want to resolve the problem of boy prostitution - including the author himself, who brings to light with substance and understanding a subject dealt with previously in book form only in pornography."

Quote from this book "If the man who was driving the dark blue Vauxhall along Carlton Lane near Yeadon isn't the man who murdered little Paul Kingsley, why doesn't he come forward and tell the Bradford police what he was doing there? If he had a good reason for being there, he could clear his name from a long list of suspects and narrow down the search for the murderer. Police investigators have even considered the remote possibility that the man was there to get rid of some household garbage when he was spotted parked on the grass verge on Carlton Lane facing towards Otley. The driver's door was open and so was the boot. There were two plastic bags of rubbish on the ground next to the four-or-five-year-old car. Or perhaps they had been used to conceal Paul's body lying in the boot. Or had Paul already been thrown into the ditch where he was eventually found?" opening paragraphs Secondhand booksellers |
