Title: Beware
Product review: Before you spend your money on this book, check its references. Several lines of description of a Kansas City club of the thirties appear to be lifted directly from Larsen and Hulston's 1997 book Pendergast! Specifically, on page 216 the line "The establishment pretended to operate as a swank supper club, offering a menu of 'soup and striptease.'" reproduces--without quotation marks--a line word for word. Much of the next two paragraphs are likewise nearly identical.
