Interview With Helene Stapinski at Word Bookstore 12/8/14
Monday, 22 September, 2025

I sat down with Helene Stapinski, author of "Five Finger Discount, A Crooked Family History" at Word Booksellers, 123 Newark Avenue in downtown Jersey City on 12/8/2014. The book chronicles her experiences with her family growing up in a gritty Jersey City in the early 1970's as well as the political corruption over the years and lots of other history. **It's now 2025, more than 10 years later, and there is some spooky "Foreshadowing" in this interview. I had a blast sitting down with Helene for this one! I will be doing another intereview at Word Bookseller new location in October (more info very soon). Word is now at 29 McWilliams Place in Jersey City. Check out all of Helen's work here: https://helenestapinski.com/
