Studies show that as many as 5% of American men crossdress regularly - but not all of them want to crossdress fully or publicly. Charles Anders, a writer and crossdresser of many years` experience, gives you the skills and confidence you need to crossdress as much - or as little - as you want: embarrassment-free clothes shopping, doing your makeup, making decisions about your head and body hair, and much more. Unlike crossdressing manuals that insist on nothing less than perfect passable femininity, `The Lazy Crossdresser` gives you permission to experiment: `The moment you put on a dab of lipstick or a pair of panties, you`ve stepped outside the magic circle. There are no rules.` Hints, ideas, stories, emotional support, and illustrations to help you become the creature you`ve dreamed of being!

She’s Such a Geek is a groundbreaking anthology that celebrates women who have flourished in the male-dominated realms of technical and cultural arcana. Editors Annalee Newitz and Charlie Anders bring together a diverse range of critical and personal essays about the meaning of female nerdhood by women who are in love with genomics, obsessed with blogging, learned about sex from Dungeons and Dragons, and aren't afraid to match wits with men or computers. More than anything, She's Such a Geek is a celebration and call to arms: it's a hopeful book which looks forward to a day when women will invent molecular motors, design the next ultra-tiny supercomputer, and run the government.
