Book of Numbers (1973) was released on video only on the long-gone Magnetic Video Corporation label in 1979. I have a copy of this entertaining and very politically incorrect movie. The movie has never been re-issued. Too bad. This movie is much better than many of the more serious black-themed films of recent note (think Spike Lee movies, etc.). Book of Numbers is short and sweet with a running time of about 1hr and 20mins and contains scenes you will not find in any other movie. I guarantee it. If anyone has a chance to see this movie (about a black numbers racket during the 30s who try and keep a scummy white mobster from invading their turf and taking their money)--they should. I also think "Book of Numbers" should be watched more than once.
