I am reading Bandit Country by Jamie Reid and it's a great read.
Don't let the title put you off, the bandits are of the one arm variety and this basically is the history of the start of mainstream gambling in this country, those of you up in the NE area might find this doubly interesesting, it's mainly set in Newcastle and the sourounding area.
Hope you can find the time and have a read and enjoy.
