They say the holiday season starts earlier every year--and based on the number of press releases announcing end-of-year blockbusters already jingling across our desks, we're prone to agree. The most recent item to catch our attention is "Magnum", a coffee table tome featuring the men of Raging Stallion and published by Bruno Gmünder. Featured on its undoubtedly glossy pages are Fleshbot Crush Object (and coverboy) Steve Cruz along with Roman Ragazzi, François Sagat, and a host of other porn dreamboats all shot by photographer Kent Taylor. Even though that lineup gives us an excuse to stay on Santa's good side come the holidays, we have to say we're less than impressed by its format: at only 9" x 12" and a skimpyish 192 pages, we were hoping for something a little bigger. Then again, aren't we always?
