The Real George Freeman by Tony Reeves is the illustrated biography that strips away the Sydney underworld folklore surrounding Australia’s most famous illegal bookmaker. Reeves charts Freeman’s rise from street-smart SP operator to the shadowy figure who shaped New South Wales racing and organised crime in the 1970s-80s.

This 2011 Penguin paperback delivers 251 pages of true-crime history, geography and horse-racing intrigue for young adults and adults alike. Clean pages, tight binding, and only light foxing on the closed edges keep the reading experience fresh; no writing, dog-ears or smoke odour intrude.

Collectors of Australian true crime, autobiography and NSW turf history will appreciate the crisp, photo-illustrated narrative. Grab a copy and discover why the name George Freeman still echoes around Sydney racetracks and police files.
