The fact that I've never heard of it, or even knew Rothstein was married, doesn't mean anything. Wonder why seller didn't at least LOOK inside? |

Here's another Rothstein biography. Interestingly, only eleven pages is devoted to the fix. As for the spouse's biography, it's a book I haven't seen before. |

That's what I was afraid of... I threw a $20 bid in and then promptly forgot about it. I'm thinking I should have gone higher. Just adding Black Sox into the title probably would have made for a nice profit (after reading it of course). |

if a book is out of stock, out of print, or "do you want a book search"? |

interesting rothstein book on the bay
Posted By: J Levine
A quick google search turned up that Donald Henderson Clarke was a relatively famous newspaper man of the day and a personal friend of Rothstein...this book it seems was a memoir of some of rothstein's life and almost certainly contains some info. on the black sox scandal. if anybody could find a copy it might be a very interesting read...rothstein is almost a mythic figure behind some of the great literature people in america...used in great gatsby (meyer wolfsheim)and guys and dolls (nathan detroit) to name a few...i am not proud to say that my grandfather knew mr. rothstein pretty well as a youth in new york and chicago...not sure any of this helps locate the book but interesting to know that there is a book out there. |

Donald Henderson Clarke also wrote another book on Rothstein, In the Reign of Rothstein, published in 1930, with copies readily available. |
