edited by Paul Duncan and Jürgen Müller Enter a world populated by private eyes, gangsters, psychopaths and femmes fatales, where deception, lust, and betrayal run rampant.

Great-Granddaughter by Sidney Poitier Sidney Poitier was the first African-American to win the Academy Award for best actor. He has starred in over 40 films, directed nine and written four.

In this moving book, he draws upon the perspective and wisdom gained from his memories as a poor boy in the Bahamas, his experience of racism and breaking the race barrier in theatre and film during the Civil Rights Era, then, after achieving stardom and success, becoming a diplomat and humanitarian. Enhanced by stories about the people of courage the actor has met along the way, and the meaning of life in the face of death. 285 pages, photos and family tree.

74987 RIN TIN TIN: The Life and Legend of the World’s Most Famous Dog by Susan Orlean September 1918 and Corporal Lee Duncan was sent into the ruins of a German camp to see what could be used. There was a bunker used for housing military dogs - German Shepherds - which had taken a hit from a shell and contained over 20 dead animals and one nursing female with five puppies, amazingly still alive. Duncan kept one of the puppies, brought it back to California and the legend of Rin Tin Tin was born. Between then and his death in 1932 he starred in 27 films and would certainly have won an Oscar if it was not a humans- only award. After Duncan died in 1960 the RTT bloodline was kept going by Jannettia Brodsgaard, who had bought several pups sired by RTT III. Her great- granddaughter keeps the flame alive today with RTT XII, who remains a star. Susan Orlean’s heartwarming book is many things: a poignant exploration of the human-animal bond, a rich history of the 20th century movie business, an analysis of the role of dogs in the family and in society. 324pp paperback, photos. £14.99 NOW £5.50

Escaping poverty in London for the US in 1910, he took his jack-of-all-theatrical-trades skills to Hollywood and, as we all know, the rest is history.

74452 BARBRA STREISAND by Nick Yapp


Barbra Streisand grossed record takings on tour at the age of 64, and America’s most successful female singer-songwriter is as popular as ever as she enters her eighth decade. The Brooklyn-born singer made a feature of her unusual looks, her Jewish background, her love of glamorous clothes and her


commitment to radical political causes. She learnt her trade singing in local clubs and on the radio. Once she had played the role of Miss Marmelstein in I Can Get It For You Wholesale, her Broadway career was assured. This huge book full of wonderful photos follows the high spots of Streisand’s career, including Fanny Brice in Funny Girl, the musical that launched her face onto the cover of Time magazine, her iconic role as the wacky student in What’s Up, Doc?, and her performance as the high-class call girl Claudia Draper in Nuts. Streisand’s superb fashion sense surfaces again and again in these stills. 176pp, lavishly illustrated in colour and b/w. ONLY £5


74483 FIFTH AVENUE 5 A.M.: Audrey


Hepburn & Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Sam Wasson


The wholesome Audrey Hepburn, who started out as a ballerina, was second choice after Marilyn Monroe for the hooker Holly Golightly, and the poise and grace she brought to the role delighted some and shocked others. Truman Capote felt that his novel had been completely sanitised, but from a feminist point of view the film was revolutionary. Givenchy’s ground-breaking Little Black Dress emphasized the contours of the female body rather than remodelling it to impossible proportions. The film was a hit in spite of massive problems. Filming among the Tiffany diamonds meant a big security operation and a difficult acting area, and initially Hepburn was nervous about the director Blake Edwards’s relaxed, improvisational style. There were struggles over Mancini’s score, and fights over whether Hepburn should sing “Moon River” herself. Hepburn disliked her leading man George Peppard, who referred to her as “the happy nun”. 231pp, photos. £14.99 NOW £5


74461 RICHARD & JUDY: The Autobiography

EROTICA


That picture, rising before my eyes, didn’t give me much confidence in the unfortunate goof’s ability to woo and win, I must say. Especially if the girl he had earmarked was one of these tough modern thugs, all lipstick and cool, hard, sardonic eyes, as she probably was.

75575 FEMME DIGITALE by Michael Burns


Studies of the idealised female form are no longer created by photographing a model and using an airbrush, much less by spending hours in the artist’s studio painting a Venus or Olympia in the style of Botticelli or Manet. This book demonstrates how to produce images of beautiful women from


scratch using software designed for the purpose and creating a female form to a precise specification. One of the best places to look for inspiration is in the world of computer games, for instance the character “Jen” in the game Prima, or the female actors in films such as Blade Runner. To create digital art, you have to think digitally, and the book introduces the technology and terms used in high-end 3-D applications and professional graphics software. Adobe Photoshop offers the use of layers, allowing you to work on a single section, Poser has the advantage of over 70 ready-made poseable figures, while Maya provides highly versatile all-round modelling software. Building the body is the next stage, starting in a 2D painting set-up and then moving into 3D with details such as realistic hair. A chapter on Components and Ingredients covers lighting, texture and figure geometry, and finally there is a gallery of 50 alluring digital creations to demonstrate the potentialities of the genre. 224pp, softback, colour photos on every page, glossary. $29.95 NOW £6


75684 MUSCLE MEN: Rock Hard Gay Erotica

Here is a celebration of the body beautiful where men who look like Greek gods are worshipped for their outsized attributes. We are taken into the erotic world of bodybuilders


and the men who desire them, men who get hot in the gym, in the locker room and especially in the steam room. In Joe Marohl’s ‘The Lair of Carlos de la Paz’, a secret fight club becomes a stage for sex. Jonathan Asche’s closeted working-class hunk has the night of his life in ‘Brute’.

75155 TOM OF FINLAND: THE COMPLETE KAKE


COMICS by Dian Hanson In 1965, Tom of Finland began flirting with the idea of an ongoing character for his comic book panel stories, the ultimate Tom’s Man. He tried out a blond named Vicky - a common male name in Finland - followed by a Tarzan-inspired Jack. Then in 1968 Tom settled on Kake,


a dark-haired, moustached leatherman who often wore a tight white T-shirt bearing the motto ‘F*cker’. Kake lived up to this moniker, a sort of post-Stonewall, hyper- masculine Johnny Appleseed travelling the world on his motorcycle to spread the seeds of liberated, mutually satisfying, ecstatically explicit gay sex. Tom lived out many of his most personal fantasies through Kake, and Kake’s international fans made him the template for what came to be known as the gay clone look of the 1970s. Between 1968 and 1986, Tom published 26 episodes of Kake adventures, most as 20-page booklets. Tom of Finland - The Complete Kake Comics collects all of these stories in one volume. Return with Kake to the days when sex was carefree, and everyone wore a big thick moustache. 704 pages. Text in English, French and German. New edition. ONLY £13


44717 HAND-REARED BOY by Brian W. Aldiss


Rejected by 13 publishers, the award winning writer of science fiction Brian Aldiss eventually had his very naughty erotic novel first published in 1970 when it was long listed for the Lost Booker Prize. It is an original, delightfully funny description of the young Horatio Stubbs’s burgeoning sexuality. Circumcised rather crudely, here is a young boy who is awakened gently by the family’s 19 year old maid, shares beds with boys at his school, talks about class, the downtrodden, art, sex and socialism: ‘Stubbs, old man, the upper classes and the aristocracy absolutely hate the bloody guts of the middle classes!’ Crude, rude, funny and of its time. 189pp in paperback reprint. £9.99 NOW £4.50
