Stamped "31" to inside cover.

The book is organized by state; each entry includes the name, aliases, description, localities frequented, family connections and criminal associates of the suspected criminal, along with a photograph and a general description of their modus operandi. Mickey Cohen, Frank Colombo, Meyer Lansky, Joseph Bonanno, Paul Castellano, Frank Costello, Carlo Gambino, Sam Giancana, and Luckly Luciano appear, among others.
The present owner discovered this volume left behind in a taxi cab in New York City in the early 1960s. In 2007 Collins published a facsimile edition of this particular book, albeit with sections redacted. This is, however, the complete original.
