Hey guys I recently Purchased a book called the Mafia Encyclopidia 2nd Edition. Anyone have any experience with this book? Is it good? Some of what I have read is diffrent than what I have read at say gangland...for example it claims the Gambino family has 800 members but I dont think thats what other sources have said...

I have copies of both the Mafia Encyclopedia and The Idiot's Guide to the Mafia. The Mafia Encyclopedia is great... nice alphabetically organzided entries about everything related to organized crime. Fun to read too!
