Thanks guys I'll be keeping an eye out for said books and if there's anymore please let me know. Especially if any books get more detailed in the Strawman cases.

Mikey, I never met Johnny Farrell but Ive met (I think) his son Tommy (or does Johnny have any brothers or sisters?). Tommy Farrell is a nice guy although kind of intimidating given the history of his family. He had a really good itilian beef sandwich shop downtown and one night 3 young drunk guys got into a yelling match and eventually full on fight right in front of his store. He came out and yelled "take your bullshit away from my store" and one of the kids goes "oh fuck that's Tommy....we're so sorry Mr. Farrell. It won't happen again" and took off running. I'm almost absolutely certain Tommy has no ties to Chicago or any CN or OC group but still to see how scared these punk kids were because of who his family is was amusing.

Too bad his place either closed or moved. It was some of the best itilian beef and itilian sausage sandwiches I've ever had. He had it right off Court ave on 4th which is is right were all the major downtown bars are so I know he made good money off all the drunken people wanting something to eat.
