    CALIFORNIA BOYS - THE WILD ONES: THE EROTIC PHOTOGRAPHY OF MEL ROBERTS

    (ROBERTS, MEL). Roberts, Mel. David Sprigle, Editor. Santa Monica, CA: FotoFactory Press, 2003. First Edition 1/5000. 4to. Boards in Pictorial Jacket. Photography Monograph. As New/As New. 204pp, profusely illustrated in color. With a biography. "Wild Ones" is the second anthology from FotoFactory Press of the sun-drenched erotic male nudes of Mel Roberts. Like its predecessor, it contains nearly two hundred colorful images, including "many confiscated by the Los Angeles Police Department in the late 1970s. These intimate photographs have been reproduced herein using the last surviving prints in Roberts' archive. All the other photographs in this book have been reproduced from the original negatives or transparencies which Mel lovingly processed with his own hands, so that others could see his California". A brand new, pristine example of the 2003 first edition still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. PLEASE NOTE: Due to the explicit nature of some of the content here, you must be at least eighteen years of age to order this item.
