I Love Black Power
Guenter Klow
Wilmington: Eros Publishing Co., 1972.Sexological race pulp by the prolific Paul Hugo Little under his Guenter Klow pseudonym with cover illustration by Bill Ward. Eros Goldstripe Global Press GK-38. A highpoint of 20th century sex pulp publishing. “For many, the spectre of “miscegneation” has long been an ugly word in the American vocabulary. Another favorite American myth is the legend of the Negro as an animal and an orgiastic sexual creature. In this documentary volume, Guenter Klow helps abolish the misconceptions and prejudices concerning “male Negro priapic superiority.” Tape-recorded interviews with nine interracial couples reveal their innermost thoughts and emotions and clearly demonstrates that love transcends hate and prejudice and bigotry. And so does passion, whether it be white or black”

Robert Sacre
Liege: Presses Universitaires Liege, 1987.Charley Patton is widely considered to be the father of the Mississippi Delta Blues tradition, a genre of music that would go on to become world-famous through the work of Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Lead Belly, John Lee Hooker and Blind Willie McTell. In 1987, a collection of the best musicians and scholars of Delta Blues commemorated the centenary of Patton’s birth in 1887 by holding a symposium. Collected here are the papers they presented at that symposium, along with photographs and illustrations befitting the richness of their subject. This copy signed and numbered by the editor, Robert Sacre. Errata slip laid in.
