Widely recognized as “the first name and the last word in lesbian and gay travel,” Damron published its initial guide in 1964 when businessman, Bob Damron, decided to produce a book of all the gay bars he knew from his constant travels across the United States.  From the humble beginnings of this palm-sized first edition of the Damron Men's Travel Guide (aka Damron Address Book), sold door-to-door by the author himself, Damron has grown into the publisher of the largest selling, most widely circulated gay travel guides on the market.  The company now produces five annual titles — Damron Men's Travel Guide, Damron Women's Traveller, Damron Accommodations, Damron Amsterdam, and Damron City Guides – listing the best bars, baths, hotels, and restaurants around the world that cater to and are frequented by lesbians and gays.  Damron Company, Inc. is headquartered in San Francisco, CA.  For more information, visit www.damron.com.
