tried to get this book from a uk retailer who had it advertised but had not updated his records, it was out of print. saw it advertised at alibris for more than i wanted to pay, book as new, unread, remainder copy. i decided to go for it and recieved the book shortly thereafter. as stated the book was unread, no marks or damage and no finger impressions on any pages, in short perfect condition. regarding the book, this is a MUST HAVE for anyone interested in continental cycle racing in the times of coppi, bobet, gaul, etc. first class photographs and text. many thanks to alibris.
