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

[Skinleech]

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.

Would be interested in a similar book for classic bikes. Been looking for a while, its for a present for my uncle who restores the old british classics

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.

Whens it needed by mate?. I see quite a few bike books but i tend to pic up rally stuff myself at the local bootsales. I can keep an eye out and your welcome to the stuff for what it costs me plus the postage.

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.
