The Valachi Papers

By Peter Maas. “The first inside account of life in the Cosa Nostra”; the story making headlines across America.” The late-sixties Book Club hardcover. Not in bad shape for its age: some flaking and wear to the jacket, especially at the spine edges, and it’s a bit toned, as are the deckle-edged pages. Otherwise neat and clean inside, though — no writing or dog-ears. A nice vintage pickup.
