We derived the content of this ebook from two sources: one for the text, the other illustrations. Artificial intelligence software improved the old scans, yielding clear, high-resolution images.

We believe Arrogant Amazon vs. Bondage Burglar pre-dates Fanni Hall and she's not like our dear Fanni. Fanni forever plans escape, but Myrna, while justifiably outraged by her capture and arbitrary punishment at the hands of an arrogant man she doesn't know, eventually capitulates.

The prose has a formality absent from Mr. Bishop's light, conversational story-telling. But his gifts were so varied and comprehensive that he could have written Amazon as well as illustrated it. The close correlation between pictures and text encourages us to suggest that he made his images after reading the story.

Seeing lovely Myrna in his uncle's office and annoyed by her snobbishness, Jack perpetrates a ruse that brings her to his home for bogus document signing. Disguised by an ominous ski mask, he grabs her, binds her wrists and forces her into his fully-equipped basement dungeon.

There he subjects her to a barrage of painful and humiliating bondage and punishment ordeals. Gagged, she can only mumble her angry protests. He uses varied contraptions to position her for spanking, whipping and caning. As he revises her postures, he installs and removes helmet, corset, stockings, garters, long gloves and short leather boots. For example . . . .

“I think now you are ready to begin your education in bondage as an apprentice slave, young lady,” Jack Brandon pronounced.

Myrna Gentry’s emotions at hearing these words can hardly be described. Her naked bottom burning and throbbing to remind her of the humiliating experience she had just suffered at the hands of her ruthless, audacious captor and the awareness of her own female nakedness embellished and made even more lustfully appealing to a male by her outrageous “costume” of hose, pumps and rosettes, pinions and gag rendered her incapable of coherent reasoning or speech.

She wept now, but not entirely for her fall from invulnerability. The sting of her first and furious spanking had caused such a crisis of nerves and acute awareness of physical discomfort that most of her tears were drawn by that consciousness.

Now, removing the gag, he let her exhale her woes and complaints, but as she began wildly to denounce him and threaten him again with reprisals, he silenced her by fitting on the punishment helmet, which had holes only for her nostrils, covering head and face completely, blinding her as well as silencing her, since at the mouth a thick oblong rubber pad forced itself between her lips. The helmet had a sturdy metal ring at its top, and now, lifting her and dragging her under a pulley rope, he fitted the end of it with a secure knot to the helmet ring.

Then, untying her wrists only to pull a single-glove restraint device over her long creamy arms almost to the shoulders, a glove with a ring in it like the helmet, he now attached a short thin but strong linked chain from helmet ring to glove ring; then, going to the wall, touching a lever, he hoisted her into the air; the frenzied scream of terror that the helmet all but suppressed made him shiver with ardent anticipation: decidedly, Myrna Gentry was far from being the overbearing heiress as when she entered his bondage house!

He would be Pygmalion to her Galatea, and turn her into the most servile slave, he had already determined.

Now, going to her and watching her try to kick and reach up for the pulley rope with her compressed, gloved arms, he dragged her arms behind her tightly, and looped a thick narrow leather strap round her thighs and calves, thus pulling up and doubling her beautiful long legs behind her, the strap engaging round the chain between helmet and glove and thus compressing her lithe long-legged body painfully. Head tilted up and back, her body shaped like a kind of S, she writhed in the air about three feet off the floor.w

“Mfmfmfmahahahahahmmffff!” she moaned pitifully, trying to speak to him, ready now to sue for mercy.

He divined this, but resisted the impulse to make her prove her newly, painfully acquired submission; no, Myrna was to undergo many ordeals until she was softened and submissive beyond her own wildest dreams. She would be ready to exist only to serve his merest whim! This, truly, was the credo, the very ethos, of bondage subjugation!

We scanned the prose as text to align the optimized Bishop art with scenes in the story. Some long sentences were made into two. Some long paragraphs were made into two. A few words were changed or excised in pursuit of simplicity and to avoid repetition. Although the articulate text was edited, it retains its strong character, colorful vocabulary and relentless momentum. 9000 words.

Mr. Bishop's genius appears with soft airbrush gradients, similar to the gleam of chrome bumpers. His pretty characters ache from their stifling predicaments, which he renders with crisp details.

The ebook contains all the content of Tao Productions booklet, except advertising. In the original, each picture was surround by a thin border with radiused corners. Those borders were excised for the ebook.

The typeface was enlarged to facilitate alignment of pictures and prose. Not every scene appears in the illustrations. As possible, images appear close to text that describes them.

Mr. Bishop's 12 pictures are optimized on more than 50 pages. Each complete tableau is followed by virtual enlargement of figure features, action, costume elements or devices.
