What's New?

Brand New:
Bicycle Repair
This comprehensive, superbly illustrated large-format repair manual is the ultimate source of systematic maintenance and repair instructions. It's fully up-to-date and covers all types of bicycles—road, mountain, touring, city, you name it. It's also the only repair manual on the market to day that will help you with older bikes as well as with the latest. Bicycle Repair will be available 1 June 2007.

They'll Never Catch You Now
A novel set in the world of professional bicycle racing. It's the latest book by Ralph Hurne, whose earlier bicycle racing novel The Yellow Jersey was a runaway success when it first appeared. They'll Never Catch You Now will be available 10 May 2007.

Recently Introduced:
Mountain Bike Maintenance
Rob van der Plas's Mountain Bike Maintenance (see cover image top right) is the most up-to-date mountain bike maintenance book on the market today. Check it out.

It's a Winner:
The Six-Day Bicycle Races (see cover image second from top right) was awarded top honors in the USA Book News Best Books 2006 contest in the category Sports, General. We're as proud of the award as we are of the book itself. It's a beautiful book; check it out.

Another new book, published October 2006, is Ascent: The mountains of the Tour de France, a beautifully produced large-format hardcover book with many great historic photos reproduced in duotone.

We also recently released the latest in our series of Proceedings of the International Cycling History Conference (No. 17), and thanks to an agreement with the organizers of the 14th Conference (Canberra, Australia), we are now also in a position to offer copies of No. 14

Overseas Orders:

Overseas postage costs have increased dramatically this year. The US Postal Service now charges us US$11 to ship one paperback book and $37 for 1-3 hardcover books (as long as they fit in a standard Priority Mail carton. We have to pass on these charges to you. So if you are ordering hardcover books, it will be most economical to consolidate your order to 3 books at a time.
