The critically lauded memoir about being a john is now a major motion picture!

Paying for It was the most talked-about and controversial graphic novel of 2011, a critical success so innovative and complex that it received two rave reviews in The New York Times. Chester Brown's eloquent, spare artwork stands out in this new paperback edition, tied to the release of the film adaptation co-written and directed by Sook-Yin Lee, Brown’s longtime friend and the director of Year of the Carnivore and Octavio is Dead!

Paying for It offers an entirely unvarnished exploration of sex work through Brown’s own life story, showing him as a timid john who rides his bike to his escorts, wonders how to tip so as not to offend, and reads Dan Savage for advice. The book demystifies an experience that is so often sensationalized, revealing a world of online reviews, seemingly willing participants, and clean apartments devoid of clichéd street corners, drugs, or pimps. In it, Brown combines the personal and sexual aspects of his autobiographical work (I Never Liked You, The Playboy) with the polemical drive of Louis Riel, as he explores one of the most hotly debated issues in the world and advocates for the importance of legalizing sex work.

Now with an introduction by Lee, expanded notes discussing the film adaptation, movie stills and behind the scenes shots, as well as a new cover by Brown and artwork that he created for the production, Paying for It: The Film Edition is an unmissable edition for fans of Brown and film-making alike.

Nice fit and color
Size: 10, Color: Eggshell White
These pants are great. The color is off white. You can see the pockets,but nothing else. The fit was perfect for me. I took people's advice and sized down. They look simple and classic. Very comfy too! I haven't washed them yet, but i think I might have to do some ironing. But it's difficult to find white pants, so I will iron if I have to!

Roomy and comfortable.
Size: 12, Color: Eggshell White
I love the length but they are very roomy in the butt and thighs. They were tight on my waist though. I think I’m more used to the skinny look but these were extremely comfortable and they wash up great!

Cute, seem well made, good fit though run large (size down)
Size: 0, Color: Caramel
Super cute. Orange/rust isn't really my color but they were on sale so I thought I'd try. Washed and dried beautifully. I already wore them once and had no problems, they were comfortable with enough stretch but not so much that they were falling off. I like that they can be worn long or cuffed. I liked the length for my inseam which is about 28". I did have to size down. Normally I wear a 2, but I ordered a 0 because it was less expensive lol. They fit perfectly. Definitely not too tight for my pear shape. My weight ranges from about 112-116. My waist is around 25" and hips about 36.5", the largest part of my thighs measure about 21" around so I feel like they are good for those of us who are bigger/curvier on the bottom than the top. I'll likely order another in navy too!

Excellent value
Size: 12, Color: Eggshell White
I do like the fabric and lighter weight compared to similar style pants. They do run on the loose side, so keep that in mind. Excellent value

Great quality pants but does run big
Size: 0, Color: Tan
I was quite impressed with the fabric. It is a strong and sturdy cotton. The pants fit very well and I really like the partial elastic on the back. The elastic makes it fit well and a belt is not needed. I did size down based on the other reviews and I am so glad I did, it fits very well. I just put in an order for the navy blue ones.
