In 1994, "The Mistress Manual" was born as a simple pink guidebook self-published by a long-term and experienced dominant woman. She moved on to other efforts, and the book fell out of print -- much to the disappointment of thousands of eager and hopeful submissive men and dominant women.

Now, Greenery Press has brought this underground classic back to life in an updated second edition. The perfect reading for the woman or man who has completed our "Sexually Dominant Woman" and is looking for more information, "The Mistress Manual" covers everything from establishing your authority to exerting discipline.

Originally published in Europe in the 1950s to avoid prosecution for obscenity, The Gaudy Image is one of the most important "lost" gay novels. Set in New Orleans and featuring a colorful cast of louche but lovable characters, the story follows Titania aka Thomas Schwartz through the backstreets, bars and club of the French Quarter in search of the perfect lover--the Gaudy Image. This beautifully written story is both elegant and caustically humorous, erotic and sympathetic.

Based on the 'Featured Erotica' section of Zane's website, eroticanoir.com, this anthology brings together tales from contemporary writers working in the field of erotica.

Lamont 'Hood' Mason is a fearless twenty-year-old gangsta, born and raised in the projects of Brooklyn. In and out of foster homes for many years, the only thing constant in his young life was the safety of a Brownsville barbershop owned by a father figure called Fat Daddy. Hood has been in love with Fat Daddy's smart and beautiful daughter, Jacqui, for as long as he can remember. Unlike his best friend and hustling partner, Dreko, Hood works the chair at Fat Daddy's because Jacqui, who has dreams of leaving the ghetto, insists he build himself a skill for the future if he wants to be with her. But cutting hair isn't the only thing that Fat Daddy has going on - he also trades stolen goods in the back of the shop and washes drug money for the notoriously brutal kingpin named Chaos. When Fat Daddy's gambling habit puts Jacqui's life in danger, Hood tries to work off Fat Daddy's debts for him. Chaos sends Hood to deal with a beef he's been having with rival dealers, but things go horribly wrong. The fallout from this fateful night includes arrests, lockups, and deaths. Hood sees his world turned upside down and is forced to pick up the shattered pieces, one by one.

This classic book of erotica is, alongside "Story of O," the most famous French underground novel of the late twentieth century and a work of seductive literary merit.
It begins with nineteen-year-old Emmanuelle's flight from London to join her husband in Bangkok. On the airplane, she is seduced by the passenger seated next to her. By the time they land, she has indulged her irrepressible and insatiable sexual appetite, embarking on an odyssey of hedonistic sensual discovery that takes her from the arms of her husband to intimate encounters with the wives of his business associates, to further explorations wherein the philosophical and aesthetic facets of eroticism are expounded--and enacted--to the fullest degree.
Intoxicating and intelligent, "Emmanuelle," which has sold hundreds of thousands of copies since its initial clandestine publication in France, follows one woman's liberation from unconscious to intensely conscious sexuality. It is as pertinent today as it was four decades ago.
