This was my first attempt to gather together and publish information about my life-long instinctive enthusiasms.

More so than any of the other booklets in the original 'Bondage Reader' series, material from this collection of "questions and answers, ideas and problems, fantasies and realities" has become the basis of this web site.

THE ORIGINAL CHAPTER HEADINGS
tell their own story.
Each now links to an expanded collection of material on related topics

LIST OF CONTENTS

01 THE GREAT HOUDINI MYSTERY questions why so many people people enjoyed his exploits - and why his name is still a household word 65 years after he died

02 SO I LIKE TO GET TIED UP - SO WHAT?!! mainly auto-biographical, the complete text of the original text links to several areas of the site.

03 GAMES WITHOUT NAMES is a title I've used since for a collection of informative-but-hot stories, and the original review of "creative recreational alternatives" gathers together a lot of thought-provoking ideas.

04 A TOUR OF THE TERRITORY a short chapter which now forms one of the three main routes into the site via the Home Page

05 SELF-RESTRAINT , whether called self-bondage or auto-bondage, this major topic is now a storage area waiting for further input from site visitors

06 IN ANSWER TO YOUR QUESTIONS ... exchanges of ideas on a wide range of topics, this chapter involved a whole range of separate topics. The title link takes you to a sector about feedback - an an index of subjects discussed in the original chapter.

)7 STRAIT-JACKETS FOR ALL OCCASIONS combined the "Notes on SJs" from the original eight Fetters Information Sheets (1981)* with extensive correspondence. Follow the title link for more on related topics.
* The full text of the early INFORMATION SHEETS is also on site.

)8 ARMY GAMES & OUTDOOR PURSUITS combined related but separate areas. The title link is a good jumping off point into other areas of the site.

09 INDUCTION INTERVIEW background to the 'Experiment in Endurance' video project complete with full text.

10 HOUDINI TODAY is still a work-in-progress.

The original slim glossy-covered paperback from 1995 has some out-of-date information about sources, but otherwise still makes a mind-stimulating read.
It is truly a "permission to play" book and as a compendium of alternatives
is a must for beginners - and offers refreshingly thought-provoking reading
for more experienced players.
