>>I just finished another volume in the Library of
Larceny series, written by
J.R. "Yellow Kid" Weil called Con Man about his exploits of
50 years as America's most notorious Con Man. It was a great
read, probably the equal of, or maybe even superior to Catch
Me if You Can or The Big Con.<<
I have what I assume is the same book in it's
original
printing, 1948 Ziff-Davis. "As Told to W.T.
Ballard"
Dust jacket has hype blurbs on the back from
Brett Halliday
and Erle Stanley Gardner: "a must for every
sucker in
the United States and everyone who wants to keep
from being a sucker."
Fantastic read, and I'd be interested to check
out the
LoL series.
Here are a couple of photos of my copy, with dust
jacket -
