I was wondering if any of you have heard of the out of print book....
Tarnished Angels: Paradisiacal turpitude in Los Angeles. by W.W. Robinson, 1964.

I finally found a copy on Amazon.com but the price is $90.00.
Numerous colleges & institutions have it in their collections but none seem to be available online.

It's briefly mentioned in the paper below from California State University Pomona.

My first thought is...what in the sam hell is prophylactic fluid?? Was it something like 'rubber cement'?

The red light districts of Los Angeles haven't been mentioned at all in this thread...yet nothing seems more 'noirish' to me
than a seedy red light district. I thought perhaps 'Tarnished Angels' might open the flood gates.
