Down and Derby: The Insider's Guide to Roller Derby (book)

Written by retired veteran LA Derby Dolls skaters Axles of Evil (aka Alex Cohen) and KC Bomber (aka Jennifer Barbee) as both a history and a how-to, Down and Derby is a brassy celebration of every aspect of the sport, from its origins in the late 1800s to the rules of a modern bout to the science of picking an alias to the many ways you can get involved off skates. Probably includes an interview with you or at least one person you know.
