Bibliography

This is a list of recommended books about highwaymen,  outlaws and related topics, many of which were used in compiling this site.  

Out of print titles  can often be found on second-hand book websites such as abebooks.com. Those titles with a link are available either new or used from Amazon.co.uk.
