GET NJ, [Published date: ©2006]. Paper cover, 40 pp; 22 cm; Second Edition. In very good condition with light bumping to edges and light overall scuffing. Binding tight (staple bound). Pages clean and unmarked. This is the second edition of a locally published collection of vivid, sometimes sensational anecdotes from Jersey City and the wider Hudson County area, compiled by Anthony Olszewski.

Many stories are presented with a distinctly local voice, often highlighting the rough-and-tumble history of working-class life in the region.
