Description

Trade paperback. 275 pages. Bibliography, Index. Illustrated with black and white photographs. First Vintage paperback edition, first printing thus with full number line. An anecdotal history of New York’s (and Brooklyn’s) Jewish gangsters, “from the candy stores of Brownsville to the clubhouses of the Lower East Side–and, occasionally, to the suites of the Waldorf.” Previous owner’s small, round blind-stamp on lower fore-edge corner of second leaf. Else a clean, tight, unmarked copy with no spine crease and sharp corners. Some light wear to outer edges of both hinges at spine as a result of being opened. Very good+.
