A very impressive list Chopper. May I suggest that you add, what I think is, the mob books of all mob books, to your collection? This is perhaps the best, most accurate, interesting and informative mob book ever written : The Five Families by Selwyn Raab.

I own three that I have not seen anyone yet mention:
MAFIA DYNASTY -- The Rise And Fall Of The Gambino Crime Family John H. Davis (Harper Collins 1993) {paperback} Very thoroughly well-researched and written.
MOB FATHER -- George Anastasia (Pinnacle 1993) {paperback} Subject: Tommy DelGiorno's account of his tenure in the Philly mob.
MURDER MACHINE -- Gene Mustain and Jerry Capeci (Onyx 1993){paperback} Subject: Gruesome tale of the DeMeo faction of the Gambinos, and how even their own colleagues were scared shiteless of their bloodthirsty shenanigans.
Exceptionally special mention for ANYTHING written (fiction) by the late great DONALD GOINES-- a man who lived and died by the same bloody bullets which he so accurately accounted.
Rico says "Check 'em out"...
Power wears out those who do not have it.
