520    "In the early 2000's, John Corbett struck thrifter's gold 
       in a going-out-of-business Chicago junk shop when he 
       stumbled onto a 1933 manuscript intimately documenting the
       Chicago Mafia. The tone of the browned and brittled pages 
       immediately grabbed him-sensationalistic and funny, they 
       read like an embellished police blotter as they named 
       names, gave addresses, and detailed crimes. Presented here
       in facsimile in order to capture the physicality of the 
       type-written and annotated document, Bullets for Dead 
       Hoods: An Encyclopedia of Chicago Mobsters, c. 1933 offers
       an expanded overview of the Chicago Outfit through 140 
       character sketches that range from the infamous-Al Capone,
       Big Jim Colosimo, the Everleigh Sisters-to their lesser 
       known aiders and abetters. Whoever dared to put this 
       testament together was clearly someone with access to 
       information-a cop? a detective? a newspaperman? a bitter 
       mafiosi?-but who would've risked sharing this information,
       and why, is a mystery that will most likely never be 
       solved. What is left for us is a concise introduction to a
       particularly gripping chapter in American history that, 
       through its details, knits Chicago together in a new way. 
       In addition to the 1933 manuscript in facsimile (approx 
       200 pages/images), there will be an introduction by John 
       Corbett; a list of all addresses and locations mentioned 
       in the manuscript, organized according to Chicago's grid 
       layout; and a map that shows the locations of all of the 
       addresses mentioned"--|cProvided by publisher.
