The Recumbent Bicycle
There haven't been any general books about a whole amazing, creative side of bicycling: recumbents and HPV's. Finally, we have one! This book covers the colorful, diverse world of recumbents, including chapters on: History, Racing, Touring, Design, Physics, Home-building and much more. It has received rave reviews and is highly regarded by beginners and experts alike. It doesn't compare brand models, instead it gives pro's and con's and descriptions of all the features and options found on recumbents, and lets the reader decide what combination of options is best for them. The recumbent is the most diversely designed bike type and so deserves an open-ended way to evaluate the huge range of options without bias: this book meets that need. Includes many B&W photos with a 12-page color photo section; black-and-white text; color covers. This is an English edition of a German book.

100 Years of Bicycle Component and Accessory Design
The 1935 prototype of what's offered today as the hottest new derailleur design, 100-year old suspension forks, an automatic gear system from 1924, hydraulic brakes from the 1950s. They're all here in The Data Book. This comprehensive compendium of illustrations of early European bicycle component and accessory designs is more than just a collection of curios: It is a veritable source of inspiration for the development of new designs. First published 1983 in Japan by Mr. Noguchi, president of Joto Ringyo, the illustrations in this book have given inspiration to many modern component and accessory designers, proving the wisdom of the ancient Chinese proverb quoted by the original publisher: "To understand the future, you must study the past."
The Demon Game
The book is a poetic description of a life destroyed emotionally mentally & physically by drugs. I feel I am qualified because it was my life. This may bring light to just one, This may be an answer to some, This may be a warning for what you are about to become. I am about to take you on a roller coaster of emotions that has been my life & all its fears, 21 years of drug abuse has brought with it its fair share of loneliness depression addiction happiness hope but most of all painful empty shed tears, If your mind is a virgin to the demon game what I am about to write will make you think I am insane, If your mind is not a virgin to the demon game then what you are about to read will sound oh to familiar just basic everyday plain. For what I am about to write does not come from the world of fairy-tales or fiction, What you are about to read is very true & it comes from the painful world of drug addiction.
