1.The PimpThe Pimp
from Holloway House
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
Robert Maupin Beck, AKA, Iceberg Slim, one of the immortals produced from the black man's expierience in america, reminds me of many (not all) black men in america. He made a choice from the few choices he had and pursued it. Mack man.The difference between his book "Pimp" and all others, is that he... more info

2.Trick BabyTrick Baby
from Holloway House Publishing Company
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
I find it stunning that a black pimp (the author, Iceberg Slim)can take you inside the mind of a racially-mixed con man (protagonist, White Folks) in a time period where race where was a central issue of daily life. There is such an authentic feel to this book that it's hard to believe it's fiction.... more info

3.Naked Soul of Iceberg SlimNaked Soul of Iceberg Slim
from Holloway House
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
Although its not the most memorable of Ice's releases. I mean how could you ever top the rawness of PIMP or the drama of Mama's Black Widow, but if you really read this book you will see the sad and vulnerable side of this 'strong' man. I enjoyed the book, the most touching parts of the book were... more info

5.Airtight Willie and MeAirtight Willie & Me
from Holloway House
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
The book starts out with lots of outdated slang which makes alot of it unreadable and strained. The rest of the book deals with Slim telling bizarre stories about people he must have knew. This book is not like the PIMP book, it seems to be stories that Slim is telling the reader of things he heard.... more info

6.Long White ConLong White Con
from Holloway House Publishing Company
Price: $7.95

Customer Review:
This book is a slow read. After reading white folks several years back, i was quite excited to run across this book. i expected this book to pick up where the last left off, it hardly does so, and it barely tells a story worth telling.
Too many loose ends in this book. However due to my soft... more info

8.Doom FoxDoom Fox
from Grove Press
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
It was Iceberg's last novel; apparently published posthumously. Seems to me to be in an extremely unfinished state; the dialogue is bizarre. Not bizarre in the "ebonics" manner that "Pimp" was in, but dialogue the likes of which nobody really speaks in. I can't tell if he wrote it out in what he... more info

from Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.
Price: $18.00

Customer Review:
I am a Slim fan. I had my doubts about reading anything at all worthwhile on Slim, having read so much silliness. Iceberg Slim: The Life As Art is anything but silly. It is a well-researched Lit. Crit. approach to the entire works; a thing, I think never done before.
It nicely mixes the Life... more info
