Learn to Speak MafiaA Boxtree Phrasebook

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £1.12
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

So you wanna be a wiseguy?

Have you ever watched Goodfellas on DVD, adopted a friendly-but-menacing expression in front of the bathroom mirror and asked if your reflection thinks you’re funny? ‘Funny how, like a clown, I amuse you?’ Now try that out in authentic Italian. Repeat after me…

Stylish how-to photographs demonstrate a whole range of genuinely Italian, beautifully disdainful gestures, while a useful glossary will help you to distinguish ‘a friend of ours’ from ‘a friend of mine’ at twenty paces. With Italian translations of all of your favourite Mafia film quotes and useful everyday phrases (‘You have a lovely restaurant. I would hate to see it accidentally burnt to the ground.’), this book gives you all the ammunition you need to pretend to be ‘a made guy’. BadaBING!
