Hardcover. Etat : Fine condition. Near Fine dust jacket. First Edition. Las Vegas, Nevada: Huntington Press, 2003. PHOTOS UPON REQUEST. A UNIQUE copy INSCRIBED/SIGNED directly on the front free endpaper by FOUR people: the AUTHOR, John L. Smith, the SUBJECT, Oscar Goodman, his wife Carol Goodman (who figures prominently in the book, and who succeed Oscar as Mayor of Las Vegas in 2011, and to whom, along with 3 other women, the BOOK is DEDICATED), and Oscar Goodman's Chief of Staff Stephanie Boixo (who later became Stephanie Goodman upon her marriage to Oscar's son Eric). The inscriptions are dated 9/30/03. The book was almost certainly signed at the book's release party at the Icehouse bistro in Las Vegas on that same day. Laid-in is Jon Ralston's long book review (filling more than a full page in the Las Vegas Sun, Oct 12, 2003). Fine condition in a bright and shiny Near Fine dust jacket. The jacket shows just a tiny bit of very mild surface rubbing, NO chips. NO tears. NO creases. NO fading. NOT price clipped ($25.95). [Bibliographical note: jackets priced $26.95" are later]. Sharp corners. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked. Bound in the original black boards, stamped in bright gold on the spine. From the dust jacket: "For more than 35 years, Oscar Goodman was the country's pre-eminent defense attorney for alleged gangsters. His endless client list included Meyer Lansky, Nick Civella, Anthony Spilotro, Frank Rosenthal, Jimmy Chagra, Natale Richichi, Nicky Scarfo, and Vinny Ferrara, along with many others. Though no further connection between Goodman and the Mafia has ever been proved, the famous litigator has often been accused of being more than just a mouthpiece for organized crime. Was Oscar Goodman only what he claims, an attorney who defended his clients based on the simple principle that they, too, have constitutional rights? And if so, how did he manage to mingle with the mob for decades without becoming part of it? After scores of unlikely courtroom victories, Goodman pulled off an even more unlikely career change. Twice elected mayor of Las Vegas, he went from legal spokesman for the most notorious crime figures of our era to political spokesman for the most notorious city in the country.".

From Ray BradburyÕs foreword: ÒWhen I was in my late forties, I was asked to come down to San Diego to attend the first Comic-Con at the El Cortez Hotel. I was part of a group of about three hundred people, if you can believe that. The fascinating thing about this was that these people all loved illustration. We were all very happy being there and enjoying one anotherÕs company.Ó Accompanying Bradbury (who is featured extensively throughout the book) at that first gathering were such luminaries as A.E. van Vogt, Jack Kirby, and Forrest J Ackerman.…
