    Description

    The Compleat Swindler
    A lively survey of the art of Conmanship
    By Ralph Hancock & Henry Chafetz
    Hardcover W/Dust Jacket, Protected with Brodart cover, Copyright 1968, 294 Pages
    Examination of the art of fraud, which the authors claim results in more income than "all the doctors put together"  "Any serious study of swindling,'' the authors claim, "must assume that a little bit of larceny exists in everyone."
    A lively survey of the art of conmanship from the short change gyp to the big time securities swindle, with case histories from official files. The book is dedicated to "the gullible Americans...may his numbers never dwindle."
    The Compleat (Complete)Swindler takes a light-hearted approach to a light fingered subject; The art of conmanship, or how to relieve people of considerable sums of money without actually resorting to violence. It exposes all the forms of swindling and fraud that are most practiced today, from the easy take to the no limit gaff.
