Uncorrected Proof/ ARC. The picture (as shown) is for the hardcover which is what cover we have but our book is softcover since we have the ARC edition. Used book has no markings, writing from previous owner. Slight bumping, rubbing on the top, spine, edges, corners. Outer edges have could have tanning, browning, stains and foxing.

With keen insights into the authentic life of the mafia, Puzo tells the story of Domenico Clericuzio, a ferocious old man who is determined to secure his family's future in an era of legalized gambling, motion-picture investments, and the threat of government informers. 1996. A3.
