By Ovid Demaris. "How greed, corruption, and the Mafia turned Atlantic City into..."
...an overdetermined back-cover description of the town that became the Monopoly board, but you almost have to admire the sweaty writing about "this Mafia-infested and most politically corrupt of states."
This apparent-first hardcover from the mid-eighties has a worn dust jacket, especially at the spine, top and bottom, but the boards and book itself look like new and never read -- sits very straight, pages very bright. A dowdy jacket disguising a handsome reading copy.
