These items were still missing as of May 30, 2019.

The following items were reported stolen:

Capote, Truman. In Cold Blood (signed, Limited to 500 Copies, in Original Slipcase).. New York: Random House, 1965. A fine copy in a very good original glassine in original slipcase, printed on special paper and specially bound in a near fine slipcase, signed by the author on the limitation page (458 of 500). There are regular signed copies with a tipped in page but the Limited Edition copies are very scarce especially when in such remarkable condition. Clearly never read and without any marks or external wear of any kind. A small 1" chip off glassine else a fine copy in every respect.

Pasley, Fred D.. Muscling In. New York: Ives Washburn, 1931. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Cloth. Very Good / Very Good. 261p. The man who wrote a classic on Capone here shows all the tenacles of organized crime and how its forays into the business world would now allow it to continue its power even after the repeal of the 18th Amendment and bringing an end to bootlegging. A nice copy with only a small bump to upper front corner else near fine.
