Game of Cages will be coming out on the last day of the month, so I’ve decided to hold a special month of book giveaways. Every day (unless I screw up, which I probably will) I’ll give away a book or themed set of books to someone who asks for it. To enter, you have to comment on this blog or on my LiveJournal–email, Facebook, and Twitter won’t count, and if more than one person speaks up, I’ll roll a die to determine the recipient.

You get a new book every day, and on the last day of the month I’ll give away my own.

Here’s today’s book:

Writing a book set in the Regency period? Love reading those books? Here is a history of crime and the criminal underclass of that time, as well as a look at how a modern(ish) police force was built to combat it.

Is it comprehensive, accurate and interesting? I don’t know! I haven’t read it. It hurts to give this one away, actually, because it sounds so damn interesting. But it’s sat on my shelf for about 12 years w/out being cracked open, and it’s time to accept facts. Who wants it?

Update: This book has been claimed.
