The Real George Freeman by Tony Reeves is an illustrated biography that explores the life of the notorious Australian bookmaker and his connections to horse racing, organized crime and the Sydney underworld. Published by Penguin in 2011, this 251‑page paperback offers a vivid portrait of a complex figure within Australian history and true‑crime narrative.

Reeves blends detailed research with engaging storytelling, making the book appealing to both young adult and adult readers interested in true stories, business, and the cultural backdrop of New South Wales. The wide‑range subject matter touches on horse riding, betting, and the social fabric of Sydney, providing a compelling look at a remarkable era.

The copy is in solid condition, coming from a smoke‑free home with a tight binding and clean, tidy pages free of dog‑ears and writing. Light foxing is visible on the top corner of the closed book’s page edge, but otherwise the volume is well‑preserved and ready for a new reader.
