Five Strides on the Banked Track: The Life and Times of the Roller Derby

This book by sports writer Frank Deford is hard to find - I had to get through inter-library loan in Birmingham - but it's worth searching if you're at all interested in roller derby or just a fan of gonzo American pop culture. He attempts to be a little too "literary" in my opinion and kind of overshoots a bit here and there, but otherwise Five Strides gives readers a behind-the-scenes take on the original incarnation of roller derby toward the end of its hey day.
