What will we find out about Maranzano?
Informer's special issue on Prohibition Era boss of bosses Salvatore Maranzano will be released by Aug. 12, 2019.
E-book version available for pre-order
The official release date of Informer's special issue on Salvatore Maranzano is still a few weeks away, but the issue - in Kindle e-book form - can be pre-ordered NOW through Amazon.com. (Link: https://amzn.to/32GaLgr or click on the cover image below.)
This is only the second time an Informer issue has been available for purchase through Amazon. It is the first time that an issue has been sold in the Kindle "MOBI" e-book format. (The July 2011 issue was provided for Kindle as a PDF conversion.)
Our usual magazine formats - standard-size print and electronic PDF - will be available soon through the MagCloud service.

Maranzano issue taking shape
The August 2019 issue of Informer will deal exclusively with Prohibition Era Mafia leader Salvatore Maranzano - life, career, assassination and post-assassination aftermath. Through articles, photos and maps, Informer will tackle the many questions about Maranzano, including:
- Who was Salvatore Maranzano?
- What did he look like? (And what did he certainly NOT look like?)
- What does a recent discovery tell us about him?
- What was said about him by those who knew him in life?
- Where were the locations significant to his life and career?
- When did Maranzano-related events occur?
- Why was he important in U.S. Mafia history?
- How has he been portrayed by Hollywood?
- What do we know of Maranzano's life in Sicily?
- Was there really a post-Maranzano Mafia purge?
Pages for the issue are currently being laid out. (Issue is expected to weigh in at around seventy-two pages.)
Plans call for the August Informer to be released in the usual print and electronic/PDF formats (through the MagCloud service). And, with some luck, the issue also will be available in a Kindle ebook format.
Stay tuned.
