LaRue's Site Becomes Hardbound Book

Chi Chi LaRue's LiveandRaw.com has gone from winning Website to hardbound photo book from Bruno Gmunder, and will arrive in retail bookstores in April with a discounted 30-day all-access pass to the Website.

"I have always been a huge fan of erotic photo books," LaRue said in a statement, "and I have always wanted to release one of my own. I finally got the opportunity this year to team up with Bruno Gm�nder and with their help and expertise, this book came out amazing."

Among the models featured in the 80-page, 72-image book will be Rascal exclusives Eddie Stone, Johnny Hazzard, Kyle Kennedy, and Matt Summers.

"We had a relationship with Bruno Gmunder, since they're distributing our DVDs in Europe," said Channel 1 Releasing promotions/events director Rob Reimer to AVNOnline.com, "and I think they asked about the Website or saw the site and started talking about it. And I think that's where the idea for the book came from."

He said it took between six and seven months to complete the project. "They actually flew in from Germany a bunch of times and just, you know, spent days and days and days going over images we had taken over the past four years," he said. "It was a process of narrowing down to the top images."

Both TLAVideo.com and Channel 1 Releasing will carry 750 limited edition copies of the book that will include a DVD copy of the complete Live and Raw: The Movie as well as the all-access pass. These copies will be autographed and numbered by LaRue.
