A.P. McCoy published four autobiographies spanning his career from promising young jockey to legendary champion. The Real McCoy: My Life So Far (1999) was written when he was still early in his run of Champion Jockey titles. McCoy: The Autobiography (2002) expanded on that as his dominance became clear.

My Autobiography (2011) and Winner: My Racing Life (2015) complete the picture, with the final book serving as a career retrospective after his retirement. Together, the four volumes document an extraordinary career in which McCoy rode over 4,000 winners and changed the standards for what a jump jockey could achieve.
