This is one of my favorite little books. It is basically a collection of quotations from mobster films and shows. The quotes are used to illustrate various business concepts such as etiquette or ethics. It is an entertaining book, and it is a very quick read. I usually reread it when I need just something quick to browse, so finally decided to add it in here. If you like mobster movies, or just quotations books, you can give this little one a try.

This is a business book and there is lots of bad language.
