If it is Ben Dover are they missing a big opportunity by going for anonymity ? Ben's an established brand after all. Alternatively, by using 'anonymous' is there a better prospect of a broader appeal in terms of the market ? The product is repositioned and in a sense disassociated from the industry of which it speaks and is more 'Carry-On Porn' ?

Nah, it's not Ben Dover. Linzi Drew did her book several years ago and his is said to be in the works. As Jonone says, BD is a brand.

I know who it is! But its no point mentioning it because no one knows who it is around here I'm sure. All I'll say is it doesnt take much for one to write about the industry these days even if their opinion may be colourful enough to warrant a tome on the subject.

I can see why they wanted to remain anon. As anon they would be around these parts.

Really enjoyed this book. Very entertaining and can't wait to see some of the films. Especially like the parts where anon keeps getting mistaken for another director.
