The Herbert Asbury ('The Gangs of New York' etc.) Author Thread

I was wondering if there were any fans here of the author Herbert Asbury (1889-1963)?
His most famous work would be The Gangs of New York: An Informal History of the Underworld (1927) and The Barbary Coast: An Informal History of the San Francisco Underworld (1933).
Martin Scorsese filmed the first of these as Gangs of New York in 2002 and this brought about the reissue of Asbury's books on American gangs.
I currently have three of Asbury's books on American gangs of the C19th in New York, San Francisco and New Orleans.
I'd love to hear from any fans of Herbert Asbury on here, if in fact there are any!

It would seem no one here is familiar with this author then?
Last call.
intellectual stuff. :(
Not to worry, @Thunderpussy. I read thrillers too - nothing wrong with that. :)
