Roller Derby 101
I've been obsessed with this sport for the past year (one of the reasons I've not read so many books) as I helped start up and play for the Middlesbrough Milk Rollers.

I've sweated, been sprained, gave up money, time and holiday to train, meet other teams, watch live bouts and even travelled across the Atlantic with my partner in crime Rita Von Sleaze to attend the rollerdeby convention Rollercon.

This book goes a long way to explaining what the sport is, why so many women love it and explores the history, DIY ethic and the rules, whilst keeping it fun, lighthearted and most of all, includes some ace photos.

Although this book is pretty good, the only thing that bugged me was blank pages which cropped up along the way. Bizarre! And it might be worth a reprint including a chapter on the explosion of derby throughout Europe.

Good for people who want to find out more about it, or for full on fanatics to revel in.
