Exposed True Crime 2

6.0/6.5

$500

Scarce. Going from the best pre-code splash to the most violent book I've seen. Shooting people in the face, setting dogs on fire, shooting a guy in the eyeball. At least three stories that end with someone going to the electric chair. Round it out with an incredibly racist story about a Chinese laundry-mat owner who fights thugs with a clothes iron. Wall to wall horrible. It was "fun" to read it/own it for awhile? I guess?

Three keywords for selling books of that era: headlights, weird, violent.

All for the kids. The 1950's were....interesting.
