There are many collectibles to find with open-world games, and Mafia 1 is no different. Luckily, there are no missable items, so no multiple playthroughs are needed to acquire everything the game offers. One of the many collectibles within the game is the Dime Detective Magazine.
The Dime magazines are placed all over the open-world, but as you progress through the story, you'll no doubt find some. There is a Collection Menu where you can see what collectibles you have already found, which is extremely handy, especially if collecting everything in Free Roam.
This guide will take you where to find the magazines by order of chapters, so they will not be found in chronological order from numbers 1 to 20. What makes things easier is that collectibles are highlighted on the minimap when you are in close proximity to them, so they are pretty hard to miss. But don't worry as everything missed is available to pick up in Free Roam! Now here are all 20 locations!
