    Looking for a nice hardback book of photos on (classic) bikes

    As per the title - for a present I'd like to get hold of a big hardback coffee table style book, with some great shots of bikes, classic or current or both.

    Not strictly what you guys discuss here perhaps, but any hints or tips would be great.

    Thanks in advance.

    If you can find a county bookshops (or Bookworld, whatever they're called nowadays) they have a lot of books about cars and bikes for their usual dirt cheap prices. I'm pretty sure that Sussex Stationers had a decent selection of bike books last time I was in there too.

    'Vehicle Porn' of any description is not hard to find in bookshops, in my experience.

    Thanks - I don't need anything 'till mid-October. Don't worry too much about it, I did some digging on Amazon and have found a couple of possibilities - just need to see if I can find them in Waterstones.

    I was more hoping that someone here had a book they could recommend.

    Cheers.

    I've got a good book I had given to me as a present a few years ago, it's a big hard back called something like history of classic bikes.
    I'll find it and let you know the title.
