One man who never gave it away was Silky, the New York pimp chronicled in this just re-released 1972 classic. Through photos and prose, Silky "explains his game": how he deals with peer rivalries, inspires devotion in his women, and manages to squeeze romance into his hectic schedule of trick management. The book's so in depth, it even includes a visit to Silky's tailor, a man ironically named Polyester Blend.
