===Biographies of the robbers=== * ''Slip Up'' (1975) by Anthony Delano and first published by Quadrangle / The New York Times Book Co. ({{ISBN|0-8129-0576-8}}). * ''The Train Robbers'' (1978) by [[Piers Paul Read]] and first published by W.H. Allen and Company ({{ISBN|0-397-01283-7}}). This book recounts a very detailed version of the story based on an exclusive account given by eight of the then-paroled robbers (Edwards, Goody, Hussey, Wisby, Welch, James, White and Cordrey with contradictory versions by Reynolds and Biggs). Despite revealing more than previous accounts, the book is flawed in that it includes inaccuracies that the funding source for the heist was former [[SS]] officer [[Otto Skorzeny]]. As the story unfolds in the book, however, the German connection was proved to be false. * ''Odd Man Out'' (1994) by Ronald Biggs, first published by Bloomsbury Publishing Limited ({{ISBN|0-7475-1683-9}}). This book is an autobiography of the life of Ronald Biggs, particularly his life on the run after the Great Train Robbery. * ''Crossing The Line: Autobiography of a Thief'' (1995) by Bruce Reynolds, first published by Bantam Press ({{ISBN|1-8522-7929-X}}). * ''Keep on Running'' (1996) by Ronald Biggs and Christopher Pickard, first published by Bloomsbury Publishing Limited ({{ISBN|0-7475-2188-3}}). This book is a novel that strongly draws on the events of the Great Train Robbery and suggests what may have happened to the three men who were never caught. * ''Gangster's Moll'' β ''Living with a life of crime β from the Great Train Robbery to 'Mad' Frankie Fraser''. (2001) by Marilyn Wisbey, first published by Little Brown and Company ({{ISBN|0-3168-5208-2}}). This is an autobiography of the daughter of Tommy Wisbey. It includes details concerning how his share was hidden and later spent, and the effect of the life of crime on the families of the criminals. * ''Killing Charlie'' (2004) by Wensley Clarkson, first published by Mainstream Publishing Co (Edinburgh) Ltd ({{ISBN|9781845960353}}). This book serves as a biography for the train robber, Charlie Wilson but was written 14 years after his death. * ''Ronnie Biggs - The Inside Story'' (2009) Hardback book by Mike Gray, a family friend of Biggs and organiser of the Free Ronnie Biggs Campaign 2001β2009. The book tells of Biggs's prison life in Belmarsh and Norwich prisons, from his UK return in May 2001 to his release from Norwich on compassionate grounds in August 2009. Published by Apex, {{ISBN|978-1-908548-48-1}}. * ''Odd Man Out: The Last Straw'' (2011) by Ronald Biggs, first published by Mpress Limited ({{ISBN|978-0-9570398-2-7}}). This book is the final autobiography of the life of Ronald Biggs, particularly his life on the run after the Great Train Robbery. It includes Biggs's return to the UK and subsequent release. Biggs also contributed, along with Bruce Reynolds, to ''The Great Train Robbery 50th Anniversary: 1963β2013'', published by Mpress in 2013. {{ISBN|0957255977}}. * ''The Ronnie Biggs Quiz Book'' (October 2013) by Mike Gray, author of ''Ronnie Biggs - The Inside Story''. 200 quiz questions on Ronald Arthur Biggs, published for [[e-reader]]s by Apex, {{ISBN|978-1-909949-87-4}}. * ''101 Interesting Facts on Ronnie Biggs & The Great Train Robbery'' (November 2013) by Mike Gray, published by Apex, {{ISBN|978-1-909949-97-3}}. * ''The Great Train Robbery Quiz Book'' (December 2013) by Mike Gray, published by Apex.
