Cut
Throat Business: I Am Having the Last Word
by C. Bridge
Book Description (or: Who Writ This Crip?): So many books are
coming out about the porn industry but not one like this, a true story,
an autobiography that are not trying to cash in on her last moments of
fame, she never had one though she will tell you in a conversational way
in the same street wise and gritty way as the industry is what goes on
in today’s porn Mecca, San Fernando Valley.
You will find out how much the actors/actress are making as of today,
how this on the fringe industry can't really make money unless they bootleg
one or two competitors products and what will happen if you get caught
with the fingers in the cookie jar.
This book also tells about backstabbing bosses, drugs, booze, extortion,
and so much more but last of course the sex. This book is written by an
editor that turned her back on the industry. There will be revealed how
much it costs to make a DVD from shooting the scene to the actual cost
of creating the sleeve and duplication; about the different 'legitimate'
filmmakers involved, and where blank videos that use to have content of
Disney's movies such as "Mulan" and many others come from.
This is a secretive and many times dangerous industry and this book
will give a different and 'sober' look into the industry that so many others
have written about when they were under the influence, this one is from
an unknown editor that slammed the door in their faces by revealing everything.

Grandes
Horizontales
by Virginia Rounding
Book Description: A fascinating portrayal of the lives of the great
nineteenth-century courtesans.
Marie Duplessis, Cora Pearl, La Païva and La Présidente, the four
women whose lives and legends are examined in this fascinating book, were
all representatives of the golden age of the French courtesan. In the reign
of Emperor Napoleon III the opulent and pampered demimonde became almost
indistinguishable from the haut-monde, with mythical reputations growing
up around its most glittering and favored celebrities.
Marie Duplessis became the prototype of the virtuous courtesan when
Alexandre Dumas Fils portrayed her as Marguerite Gautier in La dame aux
Camélias.. Apollonie Sabatier, known as La Présidente, put men of letters
and other arts at ease amidst the gracious manners and bawdy talk of her
salon and was immortalized by sculptor August Clésinger and poet Charles
Baudelaire.
To prejudiced eyes, the Russian Jew La Païva appeared intent on exploiting
the rich young men of Paris. Covetous onlookers resented her ability to
amass and display great wealth, most notably in the design and building
of her opulent hotel in the Avenue of the Champs Elysées. The English
beauty who called herself Cora Pearl was another "foreign threat", with
her athletic physique, sixty horses and ability "to make bored men laugh",
including Prince Napoleon.
Virginia Rounding disentangles myth from reality in her lively, thought-provoking
study. Nineteenth-century Paris comes to life and so do its most distinguished
and déclassé inhabitants.

Pandering
by Heidi Fleiss
Book Description: In a stunningly candid and courageous memoir, the
notorious Hollywood Madam tells her own story for the first time. From
a lucrative babysitting empire at the age of 13 to a global network of
call girls and customers that stretched from Los Angeles to Kuwait, Heidi
Fleiss built and ran the most glamorous and obscenely successful sex business
in history. Her spectacular rise and fall captivated the country in the
early 90’s, even as it terrified Hollywood’s power elite. Featuring
original text, wiretap transcripts, court documents, news clippings, diary
excerpts, interviews with hookers, and fantastic original artwork, Heidi
tells her story with a fierce regard for the truth. At turns political,
passionate, poignant, funny, sexy, angry, outrageous, and wise, Pandering
is arguably the bravest and most provocative visual memoir ever published
— a book that will make headlines all over again.

Traci
Lords: Underneath It All
by Traci Lords
Nora Kuzma was a troubled teenager from Steubenville, Ohio; Traci Lords
was the underage skin mag/porn queen who became the centerpiece of the
adult video industry's greatest scandal. In reality, they were one and
the same, the subject of this slick, if thin autobiography. But what's
striking here is not the familiar storyline--confused, sexually abused
teen falls in with drugs and the wrong Southern California crowd, forges
fake IDs to become Penthouse Pet of the Month at 16 and the '80s hottest
adult star, then arrested as focus of the Reagan administration's crackdown
on porn, only to become reborn as cleaned-up, psychoanalyzed/rehabed purveyor
of legitimate film, TV, and music career. Rather, what's striking is Lords's
capacity for denial, compartmentalization, and myopia when it serves her
ends.
Her scandalous tenure in the skin trade--undeniably the sole basis for
her infamy and subsequent legitimate career--is glossed over here in a
few score pages, with more attention paid to the heavy-metal musicians
that dotted her life than the motivations and machinations of the Feds
who literally changed her life; Slash's snake gets more ink here than Attorney
General Ed Meese. Quick to ladle generous sympathy on her own plight, she
heaps little but scorn upon those from the seedy past of her porn-star
alter-ego, yet seems to have had few qualms about formally adopting that
moniker as her legal name. --Jerry McCulley - Amazon.com
