Author David Boyer to read selections from his book Bachelor Party Confidential. April 25, 2007

First comes love;
then comes marriage. . . .
But in between there's the bachelor party.
Lesbian strippers, dwarf tossing, boozy confessions, missing grooms, a Born Again best man, an S&M clown and a couple of queer grooms. -- modern bachelor party lore is enough to terrify any jittery bride. But what's real and what's testosterone-fueled legend? For the first time, "Bachelor Party Confidential" offers an uncensored and comprehensive look at what men do when women aren't invited.
You may think you've heard the stories . . . but you have no idea.
Filled with unforgettable firsthand accounts culled from totally anonymous interviews with more than a hundred men from around the globe, "Bachelor Party Confidential" journeys to the heart of one of man's last and most closely guarded secrets. To get the whole story, David Boyer talks to everyone from Vegas revelers mid-party, religious grooms, horny best men, and unconventional bachelors to reluctant wives, pricey strippers, bachelor party planners, and other behind-the-scenes players. The result is alternately hilarious, sexy, poignant, and truly eye-opening.

Today, with 10 Stores and 200 employees, Books Inc. serves as a shining example that independent bookselling can survive and prosper, even if we must dance among the elephants.
