More Molesworth
Another possible antecedent for a favourite series from the Molesworth books. In 'Extra Tew', a chapter on extra-curricular activity in How to Be Topp, our hero talks about a 'ruffs guide to the turf'.
The closest thing to a Rough Guide to gambling I can find is the Rough Guide to Poker. Perhaps a book in the series on horse racing might be a popular addition to the stable? Cheers, cheers, cheers.
