I finally got "Wiseguy at Barnes & Noble. I was gonna get The Sicilian or Casino, but they sold out. Has anyone read the book? Is it good? Wiseguy

Yes DV, Wiseguy is very good. Probably my favorite book,(except the Godfather), but I dont really read anything outside Mafia books. I wouldnt get Casino if I was you though. I thought it moved slow and parts were boring, just like the movie. Wiseguy I couldnt put down and it really gives a lot of details that werent in Goodfellas.

thanks for the input, but i liked Casino better then Goodfellas even though Ray Liotta wasn't in it. I liked the Casino Heisting Operation rather then the heisting type from Goodfellas.

Barnes and Noble said they went out of print when I called for it.

I really can't stress how good Wiseguy is. You know how some books have a little bit of boring parts before it gets interesting? Wiseguy is nonstop action and it keeps your attention at all times.

By the way that cover is the new cover that I was talking about in a different post about this book. I wonder why they changed it?

Casino?

The movie is based on a book?

Didn't know that.

"Wiseguy" is definitely a good read. Anthony: If you can't find a copy of "Wiseguy" at B&N, try for a used copy at http://www.abebooks.com I've done plenty of business with them; they're reliable. Joltinjoe: "Casino" is by Nicholas Pileggi, same guy who wrote "Wiseguy."

that's a great read DV! mine's cover is color black, got it from a second hand bookstore. . .

Thanks, Turnbull! A realiable source from you, as always. I'll check them out.

But Tony, they arent sold out. i already told you. theres about 3-5 left.

But, I'd rather have the original -- original cover.

whats the original look like? Can someone post a pic?

You seem to use Google to find pics of EVERYTHING. Do you have to ask us to do shit for you ALL the time? Can't you just search Google YOURSELF? You do it enough. :rolleyes:

Hmm. That's wierd. I've never seen it before. Well, we're getting a Barnes & Noble soon, so I'll check it out there.

I'm pretty sure its out of print. Its titled "Casino: Love and Honor in Las Vegas". I've tried to get a copy for a long time. No luck.

that's a great book, my favorite book i've ever read, i just finished it recently and started reading the godfather. i got mine from borders.com

Casino isnt out of print, it is just sold out of where i am. The cover shows ginger when she is winning money for that guy. CASINO

I have a different cover on my Casino. It has teh word Casino in reddish-orange letters like its lit up in lights.

I know this for a fact. I went shopping for the book Casino well over a year ago and here is what i found out. The cover with Ginger is still in print BUT that is the screenplay. It was NOT written by Pileggi, but is merely the retelling of the movie. The novel which is fully titled "Casino, Love and Honor in Las Vegas" is the actual book that the film "Casino" was based on. That book has been OUT OF PRINT for quite some time now, a few years if Im correct. I just got my copy of Pileggi's Casino about 3 months ago from ebay and I am glad that I finally add it to my collection.

Don Mataya, the one you have is the actual novel written by Pileggi. That is the same one I have and is the actual novel that the film was based on.

Didn't I say that? Yeah, I was pretty sure it was out of print.

i got the Same as Don Mataya's on hardbound. i might start reading the book next month. . .
