This is an amazing find and would make a great gift for anybody with a love for the language of the underclasses or law enforcement...or crime! So many great ethnic phrases and terms here. This is an authentic joy to peruse. I got the 1977 edition, which is tall and white, rather than the 2008 edition, which may be better suited for a bookcase. I think that old one was only $13 new!

Just an index of words used by criminals back when. Interesting and a lot of fun, although I have to say some of these are pretty goofy.
