This gang of gifts is one no one will mind you hanging out with. The book Speaking Ill of the Dead: Jerks in Chicago History ​is a delightfully wicked look at 25 badly behaved characters who shaped the colorful history of the Windy City.

Since every good crook book needs some quality cohorts, we've matched the book with two Build Your Own Chicago postcards, a package of Gunslinger Jerky's artisanal all-natural, hand-cut beef jerky and two 16 ounce bottles of root beer from Chicago's Goose Island Brewery. Don't be a jerk, share one with someone!
