John Willie's: Bizarre 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.

            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 !!
