Well done this Man
...I am impressed and slightly envious
Actually, here's an idea for thoughs who praps cannot afford (for one reason or the other), to collect bikes, to collect books on em instead. I do. Though I have yet to get a bargin quite as good as the one sited in this thread and I never walk past a book or op shop without dropping in for a squiz. It can pay off.
Over the years I have managed to procure at least one copy of each of Phil Irving's books, including 2 copies of his autobio he wrote during his lifetime, including one with an autograph. Good collectable and good read books are out there! Just gotta be found. Saaz had a few desirable and collectable motorcycle related books. Including those by Phil.
Lionel / Tez, any idea what happened to John's book collection?
So with this in mind, if anyone come accross an orange and white covered paper back titled; "Ellis Mathewman Bankin, motorcyclist who perished in the desert" (google him), , please grab it and I'd pay you 30% more than what you get it for. And like Bill, I'll pay the postage!
Cheers the can:-)
