John Willie: "Bizarre - The complete Reprint of John
Willie's Bizarre"
(Benedikt Taschen Verlag, Koeln)
Comment:
This is a reprint of the
issues of Bizarre-Magazine (if think it has been published in the fifties).
The quality of the pictures is not very high (b/w), but the stories are
great. It has been published in a limited edition, but I heard a reissue
of the reissue will follow soon. Publisher is Eric Kroll. |

Eric Kroll: "Fetish Girls"
(Benedikt Taschen Verlag GmbH, Koeln, 1994)
ISBN 3-8228-8916-4
Comment:
I like Kroll's photographs
very much. They are not sterile like most of the fetish related publications.
And often they have a clue you'll see not in the first moment. Kroll lives
and works in SF - you can visit his page: http://www.fetish-usa.com/ (but be aware - it has been changed into a PAY-site !! |
