Dashed into a neighborhoos Barnes & Noble to get a couple of gift cards and saw a new Gus Russo book on the shelves. It's titled Supermob and it's about Hollywood and the mob with emphasis on Sidney Korshak's influence and connections.
I'm waiting to see if there's a copy under the Christmas tree or a gift card in the stocking hung by the chimney with care...if not, I resolve to make it my first book purchase for the New Year!

I started that book last year and gave it up. I found it to be poorly written, with too much innuendo, too many generalizations and too few facts. I agree I sometimes pick it up and read certain timebits or look for something in particular. Russo's Outfit book is more readable though.
