About this product

Product Information

In the early 2000s, writer, curator, and gallerist John Corbett struck thrift gold at a going-out-of-business Chicago junk shop when he stumbled onto a browned and brittle manuscript intimately documenting the Chicago mob of the early 1930s. The tone of its typewritten and hand-annotated pages immediately grabbed him-sensationalistic and funny, they read like an embellished police blotter, naming names, listing addresses, and recounting crimes. Presented here in facsimile in order to capture the manuscript's distinctive materiality, Bullets for Dead Hoods: An Encyclopedia of Chicago Mobsters, c. 1933 offers a detailed rundown on the Chicago Outfit through 140 noir character sketches, which range from the infamous-Al Capone, George "Bugs" Moran, the Everleigh Sisters-to their lesser known aiders and abettors. Whoever dared to put this testament together was clearly someone with access to information-a cop? a reporter? a bitter mafioso?-but who would've risked sharing these particulars, and why, is a mystery that will likely never be solved. In addition to the full-color manuscript, Bullets for Dead Hoods includes related documentary material, an introduction by John Corbett, a compilation of more than 400 locations referenced in the manuscript, and a pull-out map of Chicago that pinpoints over 300 street addresses.

Reviews
"Bullets for Dead Hoods" is gorgeous -- a coffee-table book that you'll also compulsively read. The result is a combination of history, puzzle, narrative and work of art, and every time I've picked it up since its arrival, I find a grin on my face [...] As a primary text of mob history, it must be invaluable to historians and scholars, but Soberscove has made it accessible, and literally fun for everyone., Books are written, illustrated, bought, sold, and loaned, but this one was salvaged, and assembled several decades after it was written. It's a special kind of encyclopedia, which usually offers answers; this one contains a mystery.
