THE TRAIN ROBBERS Their Story (SIGNED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS)

Hardback, 1st edn. SIGNED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS. On August 8, 1963, 15 masked men stopped the night mail train from Glasgow to London and robbed it of £2,500,000. It was called the crime of the century, and the thieves were pursued relentlessly by Scotland Yard until half the gang were brought to court and sentenced to long terms of imprisonment. Two escaped from prison (Ronnie Biggs remained free), but 13-yrs. later most of the gang were released on parole. They combined to tell their story for the first time. Illus., Maps, Appendix and Bibliog. 285pp. 8vo. h/back. With Tipped-in label SIGNED BY BRUCE REYNOLDS.
