trainedmonkey

by Jim Winstead Jr.

the big con by david w. maurer was a book i picked up after a mention on mark frauenfelder’s mad professor. the book was the inspiration for the sting, but is itself a non-fiction book about big con operators. lots of fun language (not surprising, for a book written by a linguist) and a fascinating overview of one of the more dignified criminal industries.
