Carlo´s book? Well for entertainment purposes only...sure! It´s a good read. But the book is not well researched. A lot of misspelled and/or fabricated names, which is a pain in the ass for anybody who´s trying to use the names in the book for further research. One example is the "Ralph Saleno" guy who witnessed Casso shooting a junkie to death. In the book, it says Ralph Salerno was a made Genovese guy. I suspect Ralph Salerno actually was Ralph Serpico. Another mistake is the spelling of Celambrino, the Genovese captain. In the book, his name was spelled Callinbrano (if memory serves me right).


thats what i thought, what about pictures? Are there any new or unseen pictures in it?

I ordered Motor City Mafia, Goodfella Tapes and
GANGSTERS AND ORGANIZED CRIME IN BUFFALO - MICHAEL F. RIZZO.


Yes, there are some good pictures in the Casso book. I´ll post some of them if you´d like, as soon as I find time for it.
In my opinion, Motor City Mafia is a good read. It deals with the Tampa Family from the prohibition to the time of Santo Trafficante´s death. The Tampa mafiosi had a close working relationship with the New York guys for many years and shared interests in the gambling industry in Cuba. The book touches on that.
I haven´t read the Rizzo book and The Goodfella Tapes kinda left me somewhat disappointed, perhaps because I was expecting more of it before I bought the book. There are some good wire tap transcripts in it though...
