became a media sensation when the story of his life, Pimp was published in 1969. That book was followed by the publication of six others, all drawing on Beck's life as a con man, hustler, and pimp. None of his books have been out of print since.

With books such as "Trick Baby, Pimp" and "Long White Con", Iceberg Slim detailed life in the American ghetto. "Doom Fox"--written in 1978 and unpublished until now--is the last in his legendary series. It incorporates elements of sex comedy, prison literature, and street fiction. At base, it is a dead-on exploration of the violent frustrations of life in a disenfranchised community.

  Airtight Willie & Me by Iceberg Slim, Robert Beck -Holloway House Publishing Company/Mass Market Paper- $7.95

SAVE BIG- NOW $6.67  Order by Check, Money Order & Call-In Credit Card Information

When it comes to "hos" and the men who run them, when it comes to intriguing and super paced rivalry between ambitious pushers and dealers who sell dreams in a blizzard of white powder, when it comes to knowing the streets, it takes a real player and that player is Robert Beck. For more than two decades, Beck, writing as "Iceberg Slim" has fascinated or horrified readers of his books and stories. Beck doesn't create superflies ans superhos; he gives the reader real live people- people with hopes and fears who cough breath and bleed and who have grabbed the only ticket they can find out of misery but the ticket is often a one way trip into hell and suffering. This anthology of stories by Beck is a monument to the courage of the people of the streets. Some of them make it; most don't. Laugh along with them; cry when they cry; hurt when life turns against them. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

WRITE A BOOK REVIEW

Book Review: "Airtight Willie & Me" is a collection of various ghetto tales told by the master of urban literary, taking the reader on journey that many have walked but very have lived to tell. From the first page to the last the reader is sucked into a world that only "Ice" can explain in this manner. A great read as an introduction to Beck's stylistic prose. by Yohance ykmccoy@hotmail.com

  Mama Black Widow by Iceberg Slim, Robert Beck -Holloway House Publishing Company/Mass Market Paper- $6.99

SAVE BIG- NOW $5.94  Order by Check, Money Order & Call-In Credit Card Information

"One of the most exciting literary revival series since the rediscovery of Jim Thompson's novels" (Playboy), Old School Books "is subtly transforming the landscape of post-war black fiction" (Bomb).

"Mama Black Widow" is the nickname of Otis Tilson, a comely and tragic black queen adrift with his brothers and sisters in the dark ghetto world of pimpdom and violent crime. His story is told in the gut-level language of the homosexual underworld--an unforgettable testament of life lived on the margins of a racist and predatory urban hell. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Book Review: 10-28-02 Mama Black Widow is a real story people who have fell into 'the life' need to hear...apart from the glamour,laughter and good times...satan has used this stronghold to take many people out. thank God he never succeeded with me because i surrendered all...i would love talk with anyone about this book my name is antonio and email me at: tonioincolumbus@yahoo.com  

Book Review: 9-3-02 Black Mama Widow is the perfect example of how an african american male, vicitmized in his youth and robbed of his identity. This story is very graphic and lively. This book takes you to that world, and you will live the character's life as if it were your own. It is real and Iceburg creates a vivid depiction of the scenery and emotion. ahrris@swbell.net

  Trick Baby by Iceberg Slim, Robert Beck -Holloway House Publishing Company/Mass Market Paper- $7.95

This is the story of White Folks, the blue-eyed, light-haired, white-skinned Negro who was the most incredible con man the ghetto ever spawned. He was a master of his chosen trade, meanwhile getting his revenge!

Book Review: I have just begun to read Iceberg Slim's Trick Baby. My grandfather is a so-called white-Negro and he has dealt with a lot of the same issues discussed in this book. This book is well written with and edge of intellect and street smarts. queenleo1224@yahoo.com
