Best True Book about Providing?
I was sitting here, enjoying all the fun (and more disturbing) posts) of both hobbyists and providers, when I started thinking of what it must be like to be a provider. You know, as a female type person in the business full time.
I really did. Well, for about 1 minute,48 seconds. Until i was this cute 38 year old girl trying to make car payments, child care payments, health insurance, rent, health club, etc, and all the other things a regular income takes care of. But i had to do it all by seeing strange guys and never knowing what the week's income would be. The uncertainty scared me to death. And I hadn't even gotten to imagining the scattering of rude, smelly, cretins waiting for me so I could pay the bills. Whew. ya gotta be one tough cookie.
My question is: what do you think is the best book available that explains what it is like to be a provider? The real story. the ups and downs, strange discoveries and (of course) the ins and outs (pun intended).
Surely some nice lady has written a biography or tell all book. Can't wait to ask my library to get it for me!

This book, Soiled Doves, by Anne Seagraves is quite fascinating:

If you want to read a good biography about a woman in this business try, "Working" by Dolores French. It's accurate and real.
If you're interested in a book offering specifics with advice and helpful hints, click on the link below. It's the best two "how to" books on the market. Affordable, too. BTW, Amanda Brooks is a member of this site.

Good luck,

solied doves is a great read!!!
I think for me,experience,reading forums on escort boards/blogs, and getting info from other reputable providers has helped me alot!
One day i am going to write a book on the "funnier" side of providing...lol
{name suggestions???....Green eggs & hooking????.......Chicken Soup for the hookers soul???......A funny thing happened on the way to the bedroom???.....Oops Did you just fart in bed????....etc}
Sorry for rambling,I had a late nite and am going slow steam today!

this article appeared in Gambit Magazine. I forget who this was, but she lived in New Orleans. I think she came out of retirement.

Our library doesn't have Soiled Doves. It does have Segraves' other book, Women Who Charmed the West. I will try inter-library loan. thanks for the suggestion

Cool. many thanks ladies & gents
Found Working by Delores French and the Happy Hooker in our state library.
Can you believe EBR library has neither? whatever happened their devotion to scholarly research??? hmmmm? Now I have to learn about sex in the gutter. <G>
Soiled Doves I suppose I'll hafta buy but that's ok.
Many thanks to all for helping my overly curious and very prurient mind learn more about something I was completely ignorant about 2 months ago. 
Now I Are A Xprt! but gotta continue my field research .... wheeeeee
