Query: Many-told tales

A severely disappointing compendium of many-told Mafia tales, all familiar to readers of books on organized crime.Probably the best example of what I'm talking about is the "revelation" another reviewer mentioned -- the pressure on Albert Ruddy and Francis Ford Coppola (not "Martin Scorsese"--one heck of a goof) to not use the word "Mafia" in the movie "The Godfather." Just look on the Internet and you can see that is old stuff that has been repeated many time since the movie came out. Anyone familiar with mob lore would know that.So don't believe all the hype by friends of the author and people unfamiliar with the genre. This book just isn't worth the money. If you are like me and buy every Mafia book that comes out -- don't.
