description: Mapplethorpe's brilliant and shocking Black Book was an immediate succes de scandale when it was first published in 1986. Ten years later, these powerful images of black men--many nude, some explicitly erotic--still stir controversy. This small-format version makes this notorious and beautifully accomplised portfolio available to a new and appreciative audience. 100 duotone photos.
