Introduction: The Prosperian Papers were originally prepared by James M. Gargle following a visit to the Kingdom of Prosperity some time ago. Gargle, a forgetful man, took to writing down events as he saw and heard about them, so that he would know what was happening to him. During his career, selling tiger lilies to Prosperians and buying potted Grungeon cactus plants, he recorded many adventures. They were the stuff of the day-to-day life of people and creatures in Prosperity, neighbouring Asperity and, sometimes, the Outside World. His notes became the basis of the Prosperian Papers which we offer to you here. The Kingdom of Prosperity is, in fact, a mixed blessing. While Prosperity has the famed Euphoria Pleasure Gardens and the renowned Royal Flying Desert Corps, it also has the Great Grungeon Desert with its fearsome heat, Grungeon Cactus and Gormless Grass. It is rather rainy in the winter too and desert tracks and trails are sometimes blown away by summer winds. Asperity, for its part, isn't much fun at all. In addition to the Great Vinegar Works with its pucker-causing fumes, Asperity's capitol, Woe, is about as tumbledown as a Prince's home town can be. The Prince Wilbur Swamp has two and a half times more creepy- crawly things than most other swamps. Asperians, talking through puckers unless they have rock candies on hand, tend to sound irritated a lot of the time--sort of like older sisters. In their part of the world, Prosperity and Asperity are more appreciated for their people and animals than for their geography. They make friends easily. They aren't too suspicious. And they think it is silly to work too hard. A Prosperian or Asperian--person or creature--is fun to have around, most of the time. James Gargle's stories provide Prosperian and Asperian history as it really happened. From them, it is possible to understand the rock candy-vinegar trade between Prosperity, the candy source, and Asperity, the vinegar producer. The problem of puckers--long a puzzle to scientists in the outside world--is explained in Zachariah Wince's monograph "Thoughts on why vinegar fumes make us pucker." The international scope of Prosperian rock candy is revealed in the sales records of Sweet*Tooth Farms. And the Prosperian belief in Asperian vinegar for Prosperian french fries is revealed as the obsession it truly was. The Prosperian Papers also tell us about the Royal Prosperian Flying Desert Corps--going past Watch Reports to the flesh and blood of General T. Oliver Grumble and his feisty band. Their efforts to protect the rock candy-vinegar trade from Moustapha and his Rock Candy Bandits offer tales of blood-tingling daring.

The spellbinding saga of Teamster boss Jackie Presser’s rise and fall In his rise from car thief to president of America’s largest labor union, Jackie Presser used every ounce of his street smarts and rough-edged charisma to get ahead. He also had a lot of help along the way—not just from his father, Bill Presser, a Teamster power broker and thrice-convicted labor racketeer, but also from the Mob and the FBI. At the same time that he was taking orders from the Cleveland Mafia and New York crime boss Fat Tony Salerno, Presser was serving as the FBI’s top informant on organized crime. Meticulously researched and dramatically told, Mobbed Up is the story of Presser’s precarious balancing act with the Teamsters, the Mafia, and the Justice Department. Drawing on thousands of pages of classified files, James Neff follows the trail of greed, corruption, and hubris all the way to the Nixon and Reagan White Houses, where Bill and Jackie Presser were treated as valued friends. Winner of an Investigative Reporters & Editors Award for best reporting on organized crime, it is a tale too astonishing to be made up—and too troubling to be ignored.
