A Personal Note from Robin

Eric Kroll was commissioned by Taschen to complete books on John Willie, Eric Stanton and Bill Ward. Eric spent many days photographically copying books, cover and contents, for inclusion in his books.

In the acknowledgements section of his book on Bill Ward, Eric Kroll writes:

“

I know I'm going to forget someone. When one works three-plus years on a book project, someone vital gets left out. I made that mistake when doing "The Art of Eric Stanton". I forgot to thank Robin Roberts of BackDrop for letting me photocopy his fantastic library of fetish book and magazines. He invited me back for this book, so I'm doubly grateful.
