New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1932. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Introduction by Stanley Walker. Octavo. 261pp. Fine in very good or better dust jacket with modest shallow chipping, mostly on the spine ends and several small tears. One of the great accounts of prohibition and law enforcement, described on the jacket as "the startling and humorous disclosures of America's most famous prohibition agent." The printed dedication is "To the 4,932 persons I arrested hoping they bear me no grudge for having done my duty." Einstein describes himself in the book and on the jacket as a "Former Prohibition Sleuth. Jackie Gleason played Einstein in the 1985 TV movie *Izzy & Moe*, alongside Art Carney (in their final screen appearance together) as his partner, Agent Moe Smith. Exceptionally uncommon in jacket; we've only seen one other copy thus.
