A year and a half ago (at least!), just for fun and because some folks were looking for copies of this book, I put in a request to Amazon.com to look for The Custom Bicycle by Denise de la Rosa and Michael Kolin. (I had already gotten a replacement copy for myself from a lovely lady on this list!) Anyway, I got this notice tonight from Amazon.com... Thought it would create a few smiles when you read it:
