These stories are as real as they come, they ain t no joking matter. It s a rude awakening to life, or an existence in the underworld- life underground another world, one of money, sex and drugs. This is life on the streets of a big segregated city-the South side of Chicago. Bilbo knows it, for he has lived it, especially after being crowned, and given the title: KING OF THE PIMPS. He ran these streets for over fifty (50) years, and now he breaks the street code, and opens up the closet doors, and thus reveals the hidden and dready secrets behind the world of pimps, prostitutes, and other notorious street players. According to Mr. Alfred Bilbo Gholson, the law of the streets, as the law of the Jungle dictates that ...the one who does the choosing will do the paying . You must read and re-read this book THE PIMP S BIBLE , but be careful, for it might traumatize the fuc- out of you, especially when you learn for the first time on these printed pages about some of those tricks which are used on the streets and in, night clubs across America. -Sekou Tafari

4.0 out of 5 stars This has helped me out quite a bit., April 11, 2002

I live in a nursing home, and this book has taught me how to deal with all the old biddies that live here. I am getting more attention than ever in the love department. I have also learned how to place myself at the top of all the other old men here, without even having to resort to any weaponry like the fellows in this book. The concepts are really the same; instead of cruising around in a Cadillac, I cruise up and down the halls in my wheelchair. The book has made this managed care facility worth living in!

I'm as fascinated with sex, prostitutes and pimps as the next guy; I have a small collection of (more-or-less scholarly) books on such, in fact. Unfortunately, the Pimp's Bible is unreadable and uninformative; it redefines the word "boring". In keeping with such, even the photographs appear to be Xeroxes. There's nothing here, folks. Absolutely nothing.

A great introduction into the many life styles and forms of pimping which go unnoticed by todays standards of the word pimp. I would recommend this over The Pimp Game: Instructional Guide by Mickey Royal. To me Alfred Bilbo Gholson has a better grip of what pimping means, he also represents a classier type of pimp, one who doesn't believe in drugs and violence as a means of pimping.
