Reading Copy Book Blog

AbeBooks.com is Canadian and I’m British so Elliot Spitzer is fair game for this. The disgraced Governor of New York is going to have plenty of time on his hands in the near future so here are 10 books he could be reading:

Ten non-fiction books about prostitutes

1 Happy Hooker: My Own Story by Xaviera Hollander
2 Callgirl by Jeannette Angell
3 Mayflower Madam: The Secret Life of Sydney Biddle Barrows by Sydney Biddle Barrows
4 Love for sale: a world history of prostitution by Nils Johan Ringdal
5 Brothel: Mustang Ranch and Its Women by Alexa Albert
6 Sex Work by Frederique Delacoste
7 Sin in the Second City by Karen Abbott
8 Soiled doves: prostitution in the early West by Anne Seagraves
9 Courtesans: money, sex, and fame in the nineteenth century by Katie Hickman
10 The Madams of San Francisco by Curt Gentry

I can’t say I had ever searched for books on hookers until this morning. Who’d have thought so many madams had written books? Callgirl by Jeannette Angell looks interesting - a professor by day, callgirl by night. Hmmm.
