This wonderful new book explores the world of gambling collectibles in a way that will inform and amuse both the novice and the established collector. A myriad of gambling items are illustrated in over 400 full-color photographs. Included are some that are very rare and some that are not, but all of them are exceedingly attractive. They have about them an aura of romance and intrigue.

Mob Cop
Subtitled "My Life of Crime in the Chicago Police Department", Mob Cop
tells about former Chicago police officer and Outfit associate Fred
Pascente as the man who links Tony Spilotro, a central character in
Nicholas Pileggi??_??s Casino and one of Chicago??_??s most notori??__ous mob
figures, to William Hanhardt, chief of detectives of the Chicago Police
Department. Pascente and Spilotro grew up together on Chicago??_??s Near
West Side, and as young toughs they were rousted and shaken down by
Hanhardt. While Spilotro became one of the youngest made men in Chicago
Outfit history, Pascente was draft??__ed into the army and then joined the
police department. Soon taken under Hanhardt??_??s wing, Pascente served as
Hanhardt??_??s fixer and bagman on the department for more than a decade. At
the same time, Pascente remained close to Spilotro, mak??__ing frequent
trips to Las Vegas to party with his old friend while helping to rob the
casinos blind. As a policeman he led a double life, doing genuine
police work un??__der Hanhardt??_??s tutelage while at the same time keeping an
eye out for opportunities for bribery and theft. His position on both
sides of the law gave him unrivaled knowl??__edge of the workings of
Chicago??_??s deeply rooted culture of corruption. Mob Cop details
the decline of tra??__ditional organized crime in the United States, and
reveals information about the inner workings of the Outfit that has
never been publicly released. Fred Pascente??_??s col??__orful stories of
crooked cops and danger??__ous criminals make his memoir a matchless
tell-all. Photographs 328 Pgs. Hardcover 2015

When Capone’s Mob Murdered Roger Touhy
Subtitled "The Strange Case of Touhy, Jake the Barber and the Kidnapping That Never Happened'. When Prohibition ruled America in the 1920's, it produced a lawless decade and lawless citizens. A mob boss like Al Capone became not only the era's leading bootlegger but also a pioneer and kingpin in the union extortion racket, a golden source of easy money and underworld power. But there was another major crime figure in the windy city as well; a gangster who emerged from the poverty-drenched Irish slum section in Chicago known as the Valley. His name was Roger Touhy, the son of an honest Chicago policeman and the youngest of the six so-called "Terrible Touhy" brothers. Together the brothers ruled over a small but strong criminal empire on the city's outskirts, manufacturing and distributing beer, running unions and supporting their war against Capone's criminal syndicate through a series of widespread and lucrative robberies of the U.S. mail. This is the story of Roger Touhy's turbulent life. Bibliography Photographs 267 Pgs. 2001 Hardcover
