Book Description
This book is a serious study of male hustlers using experiential dialogue to introduce the reader to real-life concepts and experiences that otherwise could not be effectively conveyed. An intriguing attempt to get into the mind and personality of the male hustler through a largely imagined series of dialogues between a well-known fictional hustler and his so-called amanuensis, Samuel Steward, this unique book covers all aspects of the hustler’s motivations, activities, life style, adjustments, advantages, and disadvantages. It accomplishes this dispassionately, without prejudgment, moral censure, approbation, or more than cursory involvement. Therapists and counselors in all fields of sexual functioning will find here some understanding of the causes and impulses (beyond the popular “broken home syndrome”) that lead young males into prostitution. It signals some of the signposts to danger and serious threats to health that accompany the profession of prostitution and also explains to counselors some of the activities and practices of the male prostitute, enabling them to have a better understanding of the fascination and peril of the hustler’s life. The brevity of success in such a calling is also considered, with some consideration for the necessity of long-range planning for the hustler’s future. Important contents: interview of a well-known hustler brief look at early male prostitution--Greek, Roman, Burton’s theory the peacock period and youth as a prerequisite for hustling lures of the profession--money, power, other motivations paths and mechanisms leading to hustling characteristics of different types of hustlers types of clients patronizing hustlers literary illuminations the modus operandi of the male hustler extraordinary dangers confronting the male hustler today the attractiveness of the “seeing-through” of a hustler to past clients quo vadis for the hustler after youth passes Readers will be amazed by the daily hazards and drawbacks as well fascinated by the curiosities and rewards of the hustler’s profession. Especially of interest to therapists and counselors, Understanding the Male Hustler is also valuable for sociologists, anthropologists, medical specialists, psychiatrists, psychologists.

Book Description
The legendary novel from the bestselling author of The Queen's Gambit about an ambitious pool shark who discovers what it takes to make the big time. The basis for the acclaimed film starring Paul Newman. To the strangers he plays in darkened pool halls, at first “Fast” Eddie Felson seems like a sloppy pool player with bright eyes and an extraordinary grin. But when real money is on the line, they see that Eddie is a hustler of the first order. But Eddie’s got ambitions and wants to quit his two-bit hustling for the big time. And when he sets his sights on Minnesota Fats, the best pool player in the country, he knows this match will be a true test of his skill—and he knows he can win. But what Eddie doesn’t know is that the game of pool isn’t all about skill. It’s about guts and stamina, and, above all, character.

Book Description
A wild and uncompromising history of four infamous magazines and the outlaws behind them, Dirty! Dirty! Dirty! is the first book to rip the sheet off of the sleazy myth-making machine of Hugh Hefner and Playboy, and reveal the doomed history of Hefner’s arch rival, Penthouse founder Bob Guccione, whose messiah complex and heedless spending — on a legendary flop of a movie paid for with bags of cash, a porn magazine for women, and a pie-in-the sky scheme for a portable nuclear reactor —fueled the greatest riches to rags story ever told. The adventure begins in the early 1950s and rips through the tumultuous ’60s and ’70s —when Hustler’s Larry Flynt and Screw’s Al Goldstein were arrested dozens of times, recklessly pushing the boundaries of free speech, attacking politicians, and putting unapologetic filth front and center — through the 1990s when a sexed-up culture high on the Internet finally killed the era when men looked for satisfaction in the centerfold. As America goes, so goes it’s porn. Along the way we meet many unexpected heroes—John Lennon, Lenny Bruce, Helen Gurley Brown, and the staff of Mad magazine among them—and villains—from Richard Nixon and the Moral Majority to Hugh Hefner himself, whose legacy, we learn, is built on a self-perpetuated lie.

Book Description
After laying low for three months in the Bahamas, Tookie is eager to get back to Dallas. Though he is in the safest place possible down in the Bahamas, he is willing to take the risk of going back. Before he is able to get to Dallas, he makes a pit stop to visit his brother, Quincy. Fully aware of what’s going on, Quincy introduces him to Anson, his brother-in-law and a trained assassin. Anson gives him a few pointers, then Tookie hires him to assist with identifying the snitch. The idea of going back home is great, until Big Mama alerts him that an undercover car has been sitting on her house. Not one to scare easily, Tookie decides to go home anyway. He switches things up and hires his younger brother to drive for him. Everything seems to be going smoothly until Brooke rolls up on him at his house. Knowing that Brooke is back to watching him, he takes extra precautions with doing and saying anything. When his sister, Quanda, makes him aware of the arrest of two of his friends, and Yaniyzah points out the people his father had pictured, Tookie begins his snitch hunt. Yaniyzah doesn’t like the idea of going back to Dallas, but she can’t wait to reunite with her friends. She’s even more excited when Tookie tells her that he is getting her a boutique. After thinking about it, Yaniyzah wants to reestablish a relationship with her father. Everything is going perfect, until she runs into Imani’s father, Montrez. He is demanding that Yaniyzah let him see his daughter. Not knowing what to do, she seeks advice from Quincy’s wife, Kayla, during a visit. She decides to let Imani visit with him behind Tookie’s back, but that isn’t the only secret she is keeping from him. With Brooke following him, and not knowing who is snitching, you wouldn’t think that things couldn’t get any more stressful for Tookie. Wrong! His mother, who he can’t stand, is getting out of jail and Yaniyzah’s father wants to meet him. Not only that, but he finds out that one of his boys is cozied up with his first love, Joy. A heavy weight is laid upon Tookie’s shoulders, and he is not sure of how to shake it off. Will he let years of friendship go down the drain behind an old love? Will Yaniyzah’s secret break their bond forever, or will it make their relationship stronger? How will he deal with the snitch once he finds out who it is? These questions and more will be answered in the second installment of A Hustler’s Fantasy.
