* ''No Fixed Abode'' (1973) by Frank Williams, first published by W. H. Allen & Co Ltd ({{ISBN|0-4910-0524-5}}). It tells the story of the aftermath of the robbery from Williams's point of view, in particular describing the mistakes made in the early days by senior officers, and the autocratic nature of Tommy Butler. The book is targeted at Ronnie Biggs in the hope that he will contact Williams for a deal, similar to the one arranged by Buster Edwards.
