Well, then you should be THANKFUL for the barechested he-men, because they tell you not to bother with those books. Historically, anyway, the degree of cleavage shown or the tightness of a given leather outfit in the F & SF world was no help at all in seperating the good stuff from the soft-core porn crapola.

Now there's another gender gap. For men, it's "soft-core porn." For women, it's "romance".
